New Project Wizard says no devices installed for Quartus Prime Lite Edition

You didn't answer the question you were asked. When you choose to create a new project, what happens when you get to the device selection page?

Worst case scenario: uninstall and reinstall the software and devices. Maybe you installed the standard edition .qdz file instead of the one for the Lite edition. Go to select by device on the download page to get the correct one for the version you're using.

You can program your board with the free Programmer that you can choose to download separately from the Altera download page: http://dl.altera.com/16.1/?product=qprogrammer#tabs-4

There's no reason to knock the company. Just ask questions here and get help when you need it! That's what the forum is for.
