now on win10/vs2017 current:
these two messages should never appear (remove any online/download license requirements from free products, "does not require a license", so why does it require then):

vsim: (even if the online provided license file has been correctly entered in quartus prime license prompt and LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable).
"Unable to checkout a viewer license necessary for use of the Questa Intel Starter FPGA Edition graphical user interface. Vsim is closing."

also conflicting setup in init_hls.bat and build.bat in examples, linker in PATH or not:
"HLS Elaborate verification testbench FAILED. See c:/projects/examples/tutorials/ac_datatypes/ac_fixed_constructor/tutorial-fpga.prj/debug.log for details. Error: Cosim testbench elaboration failed."
"Error: i++: Can't find the Microsoft linker LINK.EXE. Make sure your Visual Studio is correctly installed and that it's linker can be found."
"c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio\2017\community\vc\tools\msvc\14.16.27023\bin\hostx64\x64\link.exe : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x300"

Error: Missing simulator license for C:\intelFPGA_lite\22.1std\questa_fse\win64\vsim.exe. Either:
1) Ensure you have a valid ModelSim license
2) Use the --simulator none flag to skip the verification flow

cmd>lmutil lmdiag (for "no license required product", also none of the software should require administrative access console):
