Super ContributorHi @NTA ,
Additionally, please try the following:
-----------------------------------
In the, GUI, run Analysis & Synthesis.
Then exit the GUI.
On the command line, run quartus_fit.exe on the project.
-----------------------------------
What exactly is meant by "the quartus installation becomes corrupt and not even a re-install fixes it"? Is that referring to this specific error message (293007) from quartus_fit or is there any other symptom?
And to make sure I understand: after this error is generated, does the exactly same error occur for ANY other project located anywhere (network or local)?
-----------------------------------
What is the license setup?
-----------------------------------
Also, after the error, does running the Quartus menu command Project > Clean Project... followed by a fresh compilation fix the issue? If not, then try to manually delete all quartus-generated subdirectories and files in the project directory and try again. For example, delete the entire 'db', 'incremental_db', 'output_files' directories.
-----------------------------------
Have someone download the Free edition of Microsoft Visual Studio C++: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/
And then try to either run quartus_fit.exe from inside the IDE, or when quartus_fit.exe crashes, the Just-In-Time debugger prompt should appear to attach to the process in the IDE and hopefully we can get a callstack.
