This is the command generated while I am installing the Altera complete design suite free package -v11.1 for windows. how to solve it.

Hi Calvin,

I encountered the same issue while trying to install Quartus II Web Edition v11.1 Service Pack 2. The installer gives following error message:

Installer subprocess for Quartus II Web Edition (Free) exited abnormally.

status code = 5

command = "D:\\Altera_tmp\\11.1sp2_259_quartus_free_windows\\altera_installer\\bin\\..\\..\\windows_installer\\quartus_free\\quartus_free_windows_nsis.exe" /SHOW_PROGRESS /S /PROGRAM_FILES=Altera 11.1sp2 Build 259 /D=c:\altera\11.1sp2

(I also attached a screenshot of the installer)

The same applies to Quartus II Programmer Software v11.1 Service Pack 2.

I couldn't find any documentation about the status code. Can you please provide information what that means and/or why the installation fails?

Many thanks in advance!

With best regards

Philipp Weisbach
