Oh my God, I wasted more than 8 hours on this problem, and finally I solved it.

The trick is......as adviced by FluxCapacitor to run the software "as Administrator" even if you have Administrator priviliges!!!

I do not know who to blame...the Windows team or the Altera team?!

Any way, it is good to spread this bug and its solution for the future users of Quartus II software

Special thanks to FluxCapacitor:cool:
