Can't open .qbf file due to no device support installed, but Cyclone IV support is installed. Quartus Prime 19.1 Lite.

    Something is messed up with the installation. I'd delete Quartus and then reinstall the devices. Do the device installation before doing any additional patches. And it looks like the patch you mention is for Standard edition (std) so that may have something to do with it as well.

Thank you for the replies, BTW.

The rub with uninstall and reinstall is that I never even get to install the Cyclone IV device support myself - it appears that device support gets installed with the main package. I can't remember if I can uncheck the Cyclone IV device support at initial install, though.

I will uninstall and reinstall and see if I can get the main package to install without the Cylcone IV device support and then try to install it separately.

I will update here with results.

Regards.

If there .qdz is in the same location as the installer, the devices should get installed with it. Just try installing without installing any patches.
