Honored ContributorI am having the same issue, and it appears to be an installation specific problem.
I cannot get Quartus10.0, or Quartus10.0 SP1, to run on my work XP machine (call this machine XPSystem1). I have Quartus 10 installed on two other XP machines and it runs fine. The history of the three machines is as follows: XPSystem1 - Ran Quartus 9.1 sp1 properly Uninstalled Quartus 9.1 sp1, installed Quartus 9.2 SP2 Ran Quartus 9.2 sp2 properly Installed Quartus 10.0 is a separate directory Quartus 9.2 sp2 would compile projects, Quartus 10.0 would not compile. Uninstalled Quartus 10.0, installed Quartus 10.0 sp1. Quartus 9.2 sp2 would compile projects, Quartus 10.0 sp1 would not compile. Uninstalled Quartus 9.2 sp2 and 10.0 sp1. Reinstalled Quartus 10.0 sp1 Quartus 10.0 sp1 will not compile projects Uninstalled Quartus 10.0 sp1, and removed all registry entries containing Quartus information, or CygWin links to it. Reinstalled Quartus 10.0 sp1 Quartus 10.0 sp1 will not compile projects XPSystem2 - Ran Quartus 9.1 sp1 properly Uninstalled Quartus 9.1 sp1, installed Quartus 9.2 SP2 Ran Quartus 9.2 sp2 properly Uninstalled Quartus 9.2 sp2. Installed Quartus 10.0 sp1 Quartus 10.0 sp1 runs properly XPSystem3 - Ran Quartus 9.1 sp1 properly Uninstalled Quartus 9.1 sp1, installed Quartus 9.2 SP2 Ran Quartus 9.2 sp2 properly Uninstalled Quartus 9.2 sp2. Installed Quartus 10.0 sp1 Quartus 10.0 sp1 runs properly All machines are running the identical project. XPSystem1 fails to compile anything, and generates no errors or reports. I simply reports: Info: You have a valid up-to-date license Info: You have a valid up-to-date license Info: You have a valid up-to-date license Info: You have a valid up-to-date license Info: You have a valid up-to-date license Info: You have a valid up-to-date license Info: Quartus II Full Compilation was successful. 0 errors, 0 warnings This entire process only takes 20 seconds, where the entire compile takes 10-15 minutes on the other machines. Running the Altera sample project "fir_filter" in the qdesigns directory, the results and timing are identical. Only 2 files are ceated in the sample directory, type .qdf and .done. THere are no reports or summary or compiled files. The db directory is created, but only gets 4 skeleton files type .info,.sci,.qmsg, and .tmw_info. Any help on what to try would be appreciated.
