Occasional ContributorGenerate Simulation Setup Script Fails
Ok, got it to work. Added C:\altera_pro\26.1\qsys\bin to the path, opened a Windows command prompt, cd to the project directory, then ran the ip-setup-simulation.exe command with the same parameters when run by the GUI and it works (I still have to click yes on the User Account Control dialog). I don't know why it stopped working with the GUI Tools>Generate Simulation Setup Script for IP... command, but this is the workaround I used.
[Update] The ultimate fix was to change the Quartus shortcut to run as admin. That way, when the tools>generate simulation setup command is run, it is also elevated to admin and can run. Not sure why that command alone started requiring elevated privileges to run.
Occasional ContributorI was trying to run ip-setup-simulation.exe from a Windows command prompt because it would not run from the GUI. It was failing because, for some reason, it started requiring elevated privileges to run. But turns out if I change the Quartus shortcut to run as admin, the Tools>Generate simulation setup command works. But adding qsys/bin to the path does allow the command to be run from a batch file (without typing the full path). I have no idea what changed to require the elevated privilege for that command. The other commands in the qsys/bin don't require that. Hope that that helps.
