Need Altera USB Blaster Driver for 32-bit Windows XP

Hello to Everyone

Using Synopsys Identify Debugger Software and DINI Stratix IV FPGA platform.

Debugger SW is installed on a Windows XP box.

Version: Windows XP Professional, Version 2002 SP2

Have an Altera USB Blaster cable connected from PC to DINI Altera platform.

For the USB Blaster driver, downloaded QuartusProgrammerSetup-14.0.0.200-windows.exe

When I tried to execute, got this message:

"The Altera SW you are installing is 64-bit SW and will not work on the 32-bit platform on which it is being installed".

I need the 32-bit version of the Altera USB Blaster driver. Where can I get it?

    Thanks. But I am not using Quartus SW. Am using Synopsys Identify Debugger Software which can download to my FPGA platform if I have the appropriate Altera USB Blaster driver.

    Use the driver supplied with an earlier version of Quartus.

    Ah, I see. Downloaded and installed a free version compatible with my 32-bit OS. Then followed the USB Blaster install directions. Over this hurdle.

    Thanks for your help!
