C:\altera\<ver>\quartus\sopc_builder\bin for the "qsys-edit.exe" executable, and, C:\altera\<ver>\quartus\bin64\jre64 for the Java SE Runtime. I have performed the following: 1) Compared the jre64 files from a 16.0 installation to a 15.1 installation on another computer and they verify byte-for-byte. 2) Copied the sopc_builder files from the 16.0 installation to a working 15.1 installation and it works fine. 3) Run 16.0 from a new user environment (logged into the workstation as someone else) and it fails, so we should be able to eliminate C:\Users\<username>\* files as culprits. 4) Went through the C:\ProgramData folder and removed anything suspicious. 5) Run CCleaner on the registry to clean any dangling links and also removed questionable QSys and Java references using RegEdit. 6) Deinstalled/reinstalled 16.0 between different types of cleanings. It still always crashes Java on one machine and runs on the other. Please let me know if you've learned anything.
