Hi!

This does appear to be an installation issue. There were some issues with the 218 installer, such as anti-virus scanners triggering false negatives and using UNC paths for the destination. The work around for these has been to use the command-line installation method - there are examples on Altera's web site by searching "quartus 10.0 command line install". The 4th item down is "How do I download and install the Altera software version 10.0 for Windows from the command line?". The first link is the FAQ from Altera that points out some of the issues Altera is seeing with this installer and their work arounds - A MUST READ!! I heard from a little fairy that Altera will be pushing out a updated installer this weekend - b220 or revb. This should address some of the issues with the previous installer. I recommend trying this on Monday and reading the updated FAQ on Monday prior to trying to install.
