Why does System Console fail to launch?

Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus® II software version 13.1, system console may fail to launch. You may see one of the following error messages:

• Cannot load library: C:/altera/13.1/quartus/bin/jre/bin\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
• The program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Resolution

To work around this problem, copy MSVCR71.dll from <installation directory>/quartus/bin/jre/bin to <installation directory>/quartus/sopc_builder/bin.

This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus II software.
