Re: USB-Blaster on Windows 7

You don't need the full 7.2 installer, only the standalone programmer:

ftp.altera.com -> outgoing -> release -> 72sp3_quartus_programmer.exe

(sorry, I cannot yet post links because I just joined the forum, and you need 5 posts to enter links)

Download and install this, then open the device manager, select the USB-Blaster and install the driver from this location:

C:\altera\72sp3\qprogrammer\drivers\usb-blaster\x64

It works fine on my Windows 7 x64.

thanks I had the same problem with this I am resolved
