Quartus II v12.0 sp2 problems

hi a few days ago I installed Quartus II v12.0 sp2, so that I could programme an FPGA board with a Cyclone II chip on it. Previously, I was using v10.1 sp2, programming CPLDs. I still have this...

With Java Altera Downloader, you can choose which software to install between Quartus, Modelsim. I have not seen options to download individual files, but seen options when installing.

A common solution is to delete the "db" sub-directory of the project, Quartus will regenrate this.

You could download the 3GB of Quartus Installation : for web edition (free) : https://www.altera.com/download/archives/arc-index.jsp precisely https://www.altera.com/download/software/quartus-ii-we/10.1

I am using 12.0sp1 with Cyclone II, NIOS II SBT, in my experience this is the most approved version for Cyclone II (minor bugs are still present)

Be careful 12.1 doesn't support Cyclone II, if I remeber correctly

EDIT : Quartus 13.1 removes support of Cyclone and Cyclone II (www.altera.com/literature/rn/archives/rn_qts_131_dev_support.pdf)
