I had similar error with 13.1 build 162 web edition:

after a clean install, i got stuck with:

[modelsim.ini addsubsum_nativelink_simulation.rpt]

Info: Starting NativeLink simulation with ModelSim-Altera software
Sourced NativeLink script c:/altera/13.1/quartus/common/tcl/internal/nativelink/modelsim.tcl
Error: Can't launch the ModelSim-Altera software -- the path to the location of the executables for the ModelSim-Altera software were not specified or the executables were not found at specified path.
Error: You can specify the path in the EDA Tool Options page of the Options dialog box or using the Tcl command set_user_option.
Error: NativeLink simulation flow was NOT successful
...

my EDA Tool path for ModelSim-Altera is and was by default set to c:\altera\13.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem

Resolved it by copying c:\altera\13.1\modelsim_ase\modelsim.ini --> c:\altera\13.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem
