Problems installing Altera Monitor Program with NIOS II EDS 10.0

Hello,

I have problems installing the Monitor Program with NiosII EDS 10. When running the installation file, it exits immediately saying it needs NiosII to install... Will this be fixed soon, or do I have to use an old version of NiosII EDS for now? I'm dissapointed that the new version only supports programming the Flash memory.. (or have I missed something? :-))

Thank you!

    Hello i would like to know if you have already solved the problem quoted here because i have got it too :

    --- Quote Start ---

    Now that I have these variables set:

    QUARTUS_ROOTDIR: c:\altera\10.0\quartus

    SOPC_KIT_NIOS2: C:\altera\10.0\nios2eds

    It complains that it needs a Quartus version 9.0 or later. The message is: Altera University Program Design suite requires (Version 4.2) Quartus II version 9.0 or later.

    I am using the installer: altera_upds_setup_vhdl

    --- Quote End ---

    I use Quartus 10.0 sp1 in C:\altera\10.0sp1\...

    Thanks

    Ok, i tried on another computer with the same design suite : 10.0sp1. I reinstalled quartusII web, niosII EDS, modelsim altera 6.5e. Then I updated the env variables. And i installed succesfully the university program.

    But back to my first computer (with 10.0sp1 too), it always complains with this message :

    Altera University Program Design suite requires (Version 4.2) Quartus II version 9.0 or later.

    If I don't want to reinstall the complete design suite. Maybe there is a hidden file or a stange environment variable stating the version of quartus currently installed in the computer.

    I am using vista and altera_upds_setup_verilog
