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.
Super ContributorIs there a reason why you have to use such an old version of Quartus? What device are you targeting?
New ContributorYes, Quartus II v 13 is the last version to support the FPGA I am targeting (as I said earlier). I can't switch to a newer version, and I can't switch to a different FPGA.
This version was working fine on my previous PC with Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. The problem is likely something in or missing from my new PC, but the error message doesn't give me any useful information about what the cause is.
