signal tap 2 at Quartus 13.0 web edition

Hi ,

i started to work with Quartus 13.0 web edition and turn on the signal tap 2 via Quartus .

after i define the signals i need to watch , i compile the project with .stp file and got error says that signal tap 2 cant work with web edition and need to

enable the Altera talkback feature .

i did as follows at Altera website and run : tb2_install.exe at Quartus directory at my pc .

i got error :

"This application has failes to start because sys_tb2_install_dialog.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem."

i restart the application and reboot my pc and it didnt helped .

    I had 13.0sp1 web edition installed and have no problem using SignalTap. I can find that file in the installed directory together with the rest of Quartus files. For example, my quartus is installed at F:\altera\13.0sp1\quartus\bin. I can find this file there as such:

    06/12/2013 06:47 PM 58,880 sys_tb2_install_dialog.dll

    Do you see that file? How did you start Quartus? Are you running with admin permission?

    I have a 32-bit Windows. I don't have that file in bin64 at all. You definitely shouldn't copy any files between bin and bin64, especially those binary files. 32-bit program can not load 64-bit dlls, and vice versa. It is an operating system thing.

    I doubt it is a problem with 13.0. I don't remember I had problem there. I'd say that you should uninstall and re-install. Since you are re-installing anyway, you should just go with sp1. I know I need to enable talkback to use SignalTap. I think I mostly likely enabled it when installer asked. (? or some other step.) It was just 2nd nature to me to answer yes to that question for the sake of using SignalTap. I don't even know this tb2_install.exe program anymore.
