    Hi,


    Based on the error message:

    Error: Top level entity/module name for test bench not specified -- cannot continue NativeLink simulation

    Have you specify the correct testbench module name in Assignments->settings->EDA tool options->Simulation->Native Link Settings->testbenches?


    Thanks,

    Regards,

    Sheng

Hi,


May be try uninstall totally and reinstall using QuartusLiteSetup installer. Make sure also to set the Tool Executable path in Tools -> Options -> EDA Tool Options


Thanks,

Regards,

Sheng

      No, Also does the wun32olem appear automatically in the above method or we need to install separately (the modelsim)
