I have a question. Why can't Intel create software that simply works right after downloading? Why is it that after I download the software, it glitches, and then I can't select the FPGA I need without having to download some library, which then fails to load? I have to manually find some files, specify their paths, and it still doesn't recognize the path? I don't understand why software can't be made to work "out of the box." Why is this? Do you not have software testers? Nothing works! I constantly have to do things manually, which feels like a mockery. Please, make it functional so one can work without wasting time on nonsense.

You download Quartus and device files (.qdz) separately because they can eat up many GB of space. The new installer lets you progressively download and install the files you want and need using one tool instead of manually downloading each file.
