You need to manually add the VHDL file for your "alt_vip_tpg_0" block to your Quartus project. It can't find the entity.

Thank you for reply. 

 The problem occurred because of administration rights in windows 7. Running Quartus as administrator, without any changes to my project, there are no more errors.  Andreas

I wonder if any one can help me. I have the same problem as Ehrlich, however I have tried the suggestions here with no luck. Ehrlich, can you please share what you did to resolve this? 

 Thank you, Harold

I forgot mention that the alt_vip_tpg_0_GN.vhd file generated from my project is 0KB in size. Could I be missing a licence or something? Thanks

make sure you run as administrator when using VIP Suite in Windows. the SOPC Builder system needs to be generated as administrator also

Thanks thepancake - that worked!

While it may not always be the case, we found the solution to errors such as these are to check the IP Cores that the file uses and install/reinstall using the Megawizard. Has worked nearly every time.
