    Hi @MV ,

    I solved this error for me. This is due to Python installed alone with SoC EDS. This python trying to access a package. but that is not available in it . To solve this error, we have to remove this python and download latest python then install it in that same folder. please reply me if it is working for you.

    I'm using

    1. Quartus-lite-20.1.0.711-windows 2. SoCEDSSetup-20.1.0.711-windows

    Steps

    1. go to Folder Path - C:\intelFPGA_lite\20.1\embedded\host_tools\python and remove all the content in side the folder.

    2. Download "python-3.9.1-amd64" and install it in the same folder path C:\intelFPGA_lite\20.1\embedded\host_tools\python

    Thanks

    Rajesh M

Hi @MV :

Thanks for your suggestion, and I have done all the steps as the web link you mentioned by using pure Linux system(Ubuntu 18.04).

But I do really want to know if there is any method to solve this problem with Quartus 20.1 in Windows10. Because the tool been released officially but can't work.

Best regards

Marco Wu

I understand your frustration way too well. I am still working on something what I expected to be covered by "out of the box example".

However, I suspect that the tool as it is (Quartus 20.1) would work with a project fully configured and set-up for this environment. And that looks like a steep hill to climb.
Intel seems to be less focused on FPGA business than it was back in the Altera days when Altera folks didn't have other distraction from their core business.

Good luck - Martin
