Go to the windows start menu and find the program called "Device Installer (Quartus Prime 18.1)" and then it will prompt you for the .qdz file directory. Select the correct directory and the program will search for all .qdz file and then you can select which device to install. The .qdz file is merely the installer package, until you install it the file does nothing.

For the Cyclone V device, users should try to install the latest available software version supported which is Quartus Prime Standard Edition 20.1 or 19.1 for Lite Edition.

Sometimes, Device Installer from the Start menu doesn't work either. I don't know why.

The device installer can be accessed directly at <installation directory>/quartus/common/devinfo/dev_install
