So you're saying that every time you open Quartus, you get the message about missing device support or is it only when you try to open this co-worker's project?

Can you just open Quartus and create a new project with the New Project Wizard on the File menu and select a Cyclone IV as the target device?

Every time I open Quartus, I get the message about missing device support.

I can dismiss the message. But if I try to create a new Quartus Prime Project using the New Project Wizard (or manually with File, New..., New Quartus Prime Project), I get the same missing device support message.
