"No devices installed" error in Quartus II web edition

Hi,

I've just installed Quartus II web edition through the downloaded files using.

altera_installer_cmd.exe --target="C:\QuartusII" --temp="C:\QuartusT" --source="C:\quartus_free" --install=quartus_free -w

which returned

----------------------------------------------

Altera Installer Version : 10.0sp1.262.0

Date :Wed Oct 13 11:12:56 2010

System Info : windows

Installation Summary : Altera release version 10.0sp1 build 262

Install Location : C:\QuartusII

Program Folder : Altera

Selected Features :

Quartus II Web Edition software (Free)

----------------------------------------------

Installing quartus_free...

Command: C:\quartus_free\windows_installer/quartus_free\quartus_free_windows_nsi

s.exe /PROGRAM_FOLDER=Altera /S /D=C:\QuartusII

>> Done; return status 0

The program opens fine but when I try to start a new project i get the error.

"No devices installed"

I can continue to setup the project but no device properties may be set and subsequently the project cannot be opened. Has the install gone wrong or am I missing something. I've tried installing twice with the same result.

    V10.0sp1 is an old release, and it did in fact have a lot of installation problems, some related to conflicts with anti-virus software, for example.

    Have you tried to install the latest V13.0sp1 instead? Starting with V13.0, Quartus II uses a completely new installer (and new on-demand download center), which is much more robust.

    I run with this problem while trying to install the 12.1 version under linux ("No devices installed") there is no button for installing devices in the quartus so the command to install a devisce is:

    ./quartus_sh --64bit --qinstall -qda "/home/hoyos/12.1_177_quartus_free_linux/devices/web/cycloneive.qda"

    when you are in the /altera/12.1/quartus/bin folder, replace the qda file and path accordingly
