    Whats the error?
    Which version of Quartus are you using?
    Which OS?

    If you're using Macbook with Apple silicon - I was able to overcome the issues using Parallels 19 or above with Win11 and Quartus 23.
    Theres still an issue with MegaWizards on QP23 so for that I use QP22.
    For ModelSim im using QP16.1.

    Fortunately all the issues Ive seen can be solved by using multiple versions of QP over Win11 over Parallels 19 or above.

        My guess is that its related to the fact that your working directory is located on your Mac which windows considers as remote / network address.
        I suggest you try copying your project to your local virtual c:\ under any directory that is not "remote" for windows. For example: c:\Projects\your_project.

        If that doesnt work I suggest you try openning your project using QP23.1 while still keeping QP17.1 for future compatibility issues.

        I can share that im still zigzagging between QP17.1/22.1/23.1 lite because of compatibility issues.
