Honored ContributorHi All ...
I've just installed the latest Quartus II 12.1 software. When I try to open an existing project I am alerted to the error message (as titled in this thread) ... "Device Support Not Installed". I have not been able to figure out how to either install the device support if necessary but I figure it was installed by the automatic installer or Figure out how to get Quartus II to look in the right place for the device support (this seems to be the likely cause of the problem. When I open up the cmd.exe shell and execute "set" it displays a lot of path and system info including: QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=c:\alter12.1\quartus SOPC_KIT_NIOS2=c;\altera\12.1\nios2eds and an entry in the Path c:\altera\12.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem but there is no reference to a rootdir override that needs to be set or unset ... Has anyone got any ideas on how I can get the new software to run properly please? Also, I have tried to follow the "help" but it is largely a waste of bandwidth becuase it seems to deliver an unresponsive help page ... usually followed by a crash of Quartus II itself. Help please for this newbie? :^) Many thanks Luke
