Compatibility issue Quartus Prime Lite 18.1 with VM Parallels

Hello everyone,

I have an issue running Quartus Prime Lite 18.1 on a MacBook Air with an Apple Silicon M3 chip, using VM Parallels with Windows 11. Specifically, during analysis and synthesis, the process stops at 47%, and then an error window appears with the message: "Sorry, Quartus quit unexpectedly." As a possible solution, I tried moving the project folder to Network → Mac → Home. In this case, the error window no longer appears, but the compilation still gets stuck at 47%, returning the following error messages in the console:

Error (10481): VHDL Use Clause error at alt_sld_fab_alt_sld_fab_sldfabric.vhd(7): design library "altera_sld" does not contain primary unit "sld_hub_pack". Verify that the primary unit exists in the library and has been successfully compiled.

Error (10800): VHDL error at alt_sld_fab_alt_sld_fab_sldfabric.vhd(7): selected name in use clause is not an expanded name

Error (10481): VHDL Use Clause error at alt_sld_fab_alt_sld_fab_sldfabric.vhd(8): design library "altera_sld" does not contain primary unit "sld_jtag_hub_pack". Verify that the primary unit exists in the library and has been successfully compiled.

At this point, I was about to give up on getting it to work. However, a colleague of mine with a MacBook Pro with an Apple Silicon M chip and VM Parallels with Windows 11 managed to complete the compilation successfully. He also initially encountered the same console errors, but by moving the project folder to Network → Mac → Home and then right-clicking Connect Network Drive, he was able to resolve the issue and complete the compile design. I tried replicating the exact same steps (we even allocated the same amount of RAM to the VM), but without success.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance!
