    Hi @sstrell . The only way I could fix this was to install the complete .tar version. I would say there's a bug in the smaller 1.6Gb install package - something missing. I also see others have reported this issue.

    I can compile now.

With Quartus closed, delete the db and incremental_db folders in your project directory if present. Start Quartus again and start the compile.

If it still crashes, you might have a bad Quartus install. Uninstall and reinstall.

    Thanks @sstrell . I gave that a go. Deleting the folders and then restarting made no difference. I then uninstall both 14.1 and 20.1 Quartus installations but it stil failed with the below report:
