    It's strange.

    I don't know the answer but I would try:

    1) set Quartus option to correctly set Modelsim path

    2) re-install modelsim.

    Did you install Quartus before modelsim?

    the 10.0sp1 version of ModelSim-A(S)E still doesn't support Windows 7. whether or not that would trigger a licensing issue, i don't know

    for what its worth i've used Quartus II 9.1sp2 Web Edition and the corresponding version of ModelSim-ASE without a problem
