Can't open project / permission error

Hello, I keep getting this a lot, and the only way to solve it is to move my project files to some very specific folder: I tried this: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support...

Eduardo,


May I know what Quartus version you are using?

Can you try to reinstall Quartus and see if it is still persist?

Otherwise this could be due to permission issue on your local machine which you need to allow all to read and write to/from

I was originally using 20.1. Then, because of this, I tried installing 21.1, and nothing changed.

Also, I tried several times to run Quartus in administrator mode, and nothing changed. I'm also logged as the admin of this machine.

Several other engineering programs work on that same folder of that project. For example:

E:\Important\Sync\EE\Projects\Portable Pad\FPGA

E:\Important\Sync\EE\Projects\Portable Pad\Firmware

E:\Important\Sync\EE\Projects\Portable Pad\PCB

So I don't see how permission issues would affect just Quartus Prime. Note that I also tried moving the FPGA folder all around, even to the desktop, but nothing helps. Quartus just didn't like my PC.

But, as seeing its not a common issue with Quartus Prime, I guess its just some other program I have or something here that's causing this conflict.
