Quartus Prime 25.1 installation issue

Hello to the community.

I had some problems while installing Quartus Prime. Though in the end I finally succeeded, maybe someone will point out what I've done wrong.

Here are the steps:

  1. I started installation by executing the setup.bat command file.
  2. Left the configuration all default as well as the installation directory.
  3. The software successfully unpacked the files and started installing the help component.
  4. After a while it reported that it was done by the "Installation Completed" message and full progress bar.
  5. I waited for a while and then forced this window to close. It displayed some error message and quit. 
  6. No further progress was observed after some time, so I killed that process too.

After that I played a little with installation directories, turning on and off the antivirus, but nothing helped. In the end I came up with the following solution:

  1. Again, execute the setup.bat.
  2. Disable help installation.
  3. Wait until come other component reports it's done and do not responding.
  4. Kill that process and see some error window.
  5. Wait until installation is done.
  6. Install the help.

I'm attaching a few screenshots depicting this behavior for the Ashling RiscFree component below.

Though in the end I did obtain the software, it is still quite annoying and time-consuming. Maybe there is some tweak to make it smooth? 

I'm using Windows 10 version 10.0.19045.6466.

Thanks in advance.
