I realized I didn't answer the question you were asking about how to load the jic file!
1) After creating your jic file, open the programmer and make sure your board shows up in hardware.
2) Select Mode: JTAG and click auto Detect. Choose your FPGA if a "Select Device" dialog shows up.
3) Click your FPGA in the JTAG chain. Then right click and choose "Change File" It won't work if you pick Add file.
4) Select your jic file in the file dialog.
you can skip the next steps if you are sure your quad SPI serial flash is already erased.
5) Check Program/Configure for the flash programmer and select erase for the jic file.
6) Click Start and wait for the chip to erase. This can take several minutes so don't worry.
To load the serial flash
7) Uncheck erase for your jic file and check Program/Configure
8) Click start again to program the serial flash

Dear Galfonz,
Thanks, at least that confirms that I am doing the correct procedure.
The erase works ok (or claims to at least).
However the last step still fails with the following error:
Error (209025): Can't recognize silicon ID for device 2. A device's silicon ID is different from its JTAG ID. Verify that all cables are securely connected, select a different device, or check the power on the target system. Make sure the device pins are connected and configured correctly.
Error (209012): Operation failed
This is despite selecting both "Disable EPCS/EPCQ ID check" and "Disable AS mode CONF_DONE error check", which you would have thought would have made it disregard the silicon ID.
