New ContributorQuartus II 13.0.1 access violation error
Solved:
I have got Quartus II 13.0.1 running on my new PC by checking the "Run this program as an administrator" option on the Compatibility tab under Properties of the quartus.exe application at C:\altera\13.0sp1\quartus\bin64.
I now get a UAC prompt every time I launch Quartus II, but at least it runs. This was not necessary on my old PC, and I am logged in as an administrator on both machines. I don't know what the difference is, but I can live with this minor annoyance.
I hope this helps if anyone else runs into the same problem.
New ContributorFurther information. I uninstalled both Quartus II and Quartus Prime (and Visual Studio Community Edition which I believe was the last thing I installed before these troubles began). I then rebooted and reinstalled Quartus II.
The installer launched Quartus II. I deleted the db folders in the project directory as suggested earlier. I opened the project. Everything worked as expected. I could build the project and run the timing analyzer. I closed that project and opened a second project with a testbench to try the Modelsim simulator. That worked as expected as well, I rebuilt the project and ran the simulation. I closed that project and quit Quartus II.
Then I re-launched Quartus II and re-opened the first project again. I was again greeted with the access violation error dialog a second or two after opening the project, before doing anything else (no clicking of any controls etc.). A few seconds later a second access violation error dialog was presented (over top of the first, but with different content and visible as a third Quartus window). Clicking the OK button in any error dialog causes Quartus II to quit.
One successful run per installation is frustrating, since it takes an hour or so to uninstall and reinstall Quartus II.
Any suggestions? How do I ask for more direct support from Intel?
