John T --

The usb blaster ii driver update succeeded, but my original issue regarded USB Blaster classic driver.

When you said the driver applies to both USB Blaster and Blaster II -- the drivers have different driver directories in Quartus installation c: drive areas. EG ../drivers/usb-blaster and ../drivers/usb-blaster-ii.

For the manual Windows work-around, are you saying to copy the downloaded usb-blaster-ii driver files also to C:\intelFPGA_lite\19.1\quartus\drivers\usb-blaster? And rename them usb-blaster.cat and .inf?

The .zip file I downloaded from intel a while back only contains files named usbblasterii.cat, usbblasterii.inf.
