I have found out that the nios2-bsp-generate-files executable is in (for default location):

C:\altera\11.1sp1\nios2eds\sdk2\bin

If you go there on the command line in windows, you can type: 


nios2-bsp-generate-files.exe --settings=<path to bsp folder>\settings.bsp --bsp-dir=<path to bsp folder>

For me it was for example: 


C:\altera\11.1sp1\nios2eds\sdk2\bin>nios2-bsp-generate-files.exe --settings=C:\rts\rts_jwp_2011\hw\software\rts_experiment_bsp\set
tings.bsp --bsp-dir=C:\rts\rts_jwp_2011\hw\software\rts_experiment_bsp

Then it will indeed generate the bsp manually again like it says in the help text of the error.

Won't have to reinstall eclipse!

in my case, I did something similar, the difference is that I have version 18.1

C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.1\nios2eds\sdk2\bin>nios2-bsp-generate-files --settings=C:\Users\Bryan\Documents\UNI\Microcontroladores\tutorial3\software\lights_bsp\settings.bsp --bsp-dir=C:\Users\Bryan\Documents\UNI\Microcontroladores\tutorial3\software\lights_bsp
