Hi I had this problem. My USB-blaster didn't work. I could not install driver for it. I run Quartus II 11.1 sp2 and I have windows7 32 bit. I spent a lot of time to figure out what the problem is and it is really silly.

When you open Device manager do right click on USB-blaster and do update of your driver. Don't put there whole path altera\11.1sp2\quartus\drivers\usb-blaster\x32 but only altera\11.1sp2\quartus\drivers\usb-blaster. And after that allow to install that and problem is solved or it was solved in my case.
