14 years agoAs far as I know, the web edition has never officially supported a 64 bit build. The comparison of web vs subscription edition for v11.0 on the altera website (http://www.altera.com/literature/po/ss_quartussevswe.pdf) does not show 64 bit support for the web edition. I did notice that some 64 bit binaries were included with recent web editions. I have a feeling the v11.0 installer may not be busted but actually fixed.
Of course, the 32 bit version of the tools run fine on 64 bit windows. In fact, I have found that the 32 bit versions are faster than the 64 bit version. So unless your design is big enough to need more than 2 gig of RAM, you may be better of running the 32 bit version anyway.
