Hello AR_A_Intel,

I am having a similar problem trying to invoke the Questa simulator in Quartus 21.1. Here is the error message I get:

"Can't launch the Questa Intel FPGA software -- the path to the location of the executables for the Questa Intel FPGA software were not specified or the executables were not found at the specified path."

My Questa Intel FPGA path is set to: "c:/intelFPGA_lite/21.1/questa_fse". I also tried "c:/intelFPGA_lite/21.1" with no luck.

Am I missing the file mentioned in the above discussion?

Thank you for any help you can provide for this issue.

Regards,

Greg
