ContributorQuartus Prime Pro 20.1 install hangs
So heads up, the problem was corruption of the .tar file. I'll have to talk with the network experts, but copying the .tar to a network drive does the damage, which I could confirm by checking against the published SHA1 checksum. If I use 7zip to extract from the network version there are no complaints but the install consistently hangs.
Why the installer doesn't perform any kind of corruption check is a bit surprising in this day and age is somewhat surprising to me. Ditto, why TARs when zips would be easier for most users.
Contributor1. Windows 10 supports everything according to your link.
2. As per my original post 725 GBytes free space.
3. It is strictly against company IT policy to disable anti virus at any time.
4. I did try the install with 'Run as administrator'
5. I can't use Quartus 22.4 because it no longer supports the SDRAM interface IP block in the system builder.
I'm trying to download the full installer, but boy is that slow, running at only 20% of my available bandwidth. Looking like a 15 hour download
