Unable to program .pof into internal flash.

Hello,

I am not able to program MAX10 FPGA (device: 10M16SAU169C8G) using Quartus Prime Version 15.1.0 Build 185 10/21/2015 SJ Standard Edition. I am following all the steps provided in the MAX 10 FPGA Configuration User Guide to program .pof into internal flash. The following messages are displayed,

I tried two options while programming : 1. To program CFM only. 2. To program CFM and UFM only. I have got the same error for both the options.

Any suggestions about how to get rid of this problem would be grateful.
