12 years agoYes I checked on my installation and indeed there is no SOPC_BUILDER_PATH environment variable on a Windows installation. It could be created on the fly when the compile tools are called.
I don't understand your statement about license though. Some components, such as the Nios II CPU it its /s and /f variants do require a license, but SOPC Builder itself doesn't require any. If the .sopc file is missing, it could be because you forgot to click "generate" in SOPC builder.
