ModelSim executable not found in C:/intelFPGA_lite/simulation/modelsim Error.

I am having this error message when attempting to run the model sim execution in the University Program VWF.

My OS is windows 10, i5 processor. I am running the 23.1 software version. I am using the MAX10 10M50DAF484C7G device (DE10-Lite).

from the reading that have done I need to go to tools, Options, EDA Tool Options, under the model sim tab I need to point it to the correct directory. When I search I have assigned the following directory:

C:/intelFPGA_lite/simulation/modelsim

I get to the modelsim folder and there are no further folders to go into, I have removed and reinstalled the software and I am having the same issue.

What am I missing and how can I fix it?

    The directory should be qsim (for Questasim), not modelsim, just as shown in the window. Questasim replaced Modelsim in Quartus about 2 or 3 years ago, so if you're using 23.1, it should be qsim or questasim in the path, not modelsim.

    I have attempted to run the simulation the following ways and I am still receiving an error message. Can you explain further what you mean since there is still a persisting error?
