Why do I get the error "Error: Cannot open WinDriver device" when running the APEX™ 20KE peripheral component interconnect (PCI) development kit application? (PCI development kit)

Description
This problem occurs in version 2.0.0 of the PCI compiler if the driver for the PCI development kit application is not installed correctly. The Kit Application Install shield automatically copies files as follows:
Table 1. PCI Development Kit File Locations
Operating SystemFileLocation
Windows 2000altera.inf\winNT\inf
windrvr.sys\WinNT\system32\drivers
wdpnp.sys\WinNT\system32\drivers
Windows 98alt.inf\windows\inf
windrvr.sys\Windows\system\drivers
wdpnp.sys\Windows\system\drivers
Windows NTWpdnp.sys\winNT\system32\drivers

Direct the Windows New Hardware Wizard to these files manually if the system cannot find these files automatically.
