Downloaded Quartus Programmer SW QuartusProgrammerSetup-20.1.1.720-windows.exe

Told installer to create and use this directory "C:\intelFPGA\20.1.1_prgmr"

Run as Administrator.

The install selection page did not show the USB Blaster. It did show USB Blaster II. My PC had a USB Blaster connected to it. Installation failed at the Driver install step.

I uninstalled and replaced the USB Blaster with a USB Blaster II. Installation still fails at the Driver install step.
