Errors in Quartus II 10.1

I just "upgraded" from Quartus II 9.0 to 10.1, and now I have two new errors which were never there before.

First, whenever I click the new project wizard, I get the error "Quartus II settings file contains an illegal device family -- using default device family Cyclone IV GX"

Second, when I click "View new Quartus II information" or "Documentation" or any other web based link, Quartus II crashes with the following error:

Does anyone have any ideas as to why I'm getting these errors?

Thanks!

    Forgot to mention -- I'm running 32 bit Windows XP. Also, my intended device is the Cyclone II family, and at installation I selected only that device.

    AFAICR there was a similar error in a previous release of Quartus. The workaround was to install all device families. It was a problem in one of the scripts, there was a hardwired default option for device family.

    Might be worth a try.

    Thanks for the help, that solved the problem!

    Pretty dumb bug -- how could you give optional installation components without testing that the program still works without them?
