I have just installed the Intel Quartus Prime Pro edition. I have followed one of the videos on a simple design and my local installation could not find vsim.exe. Attached the screen of failure.
Note: vsim.exe does exists in the following path,
G:\intelFPGA_pro\22.1\questa_fse\win64
Please advise to how to move forward.
Thanks,
Ali

Hi Ali,
You should specify the application. e.g.
G:/intelFPGA_pro/22.1/questa_fse/win64/vsim.exe

In your first post, you had it set to ModelSim instead of QuestaSim, causing the error. In your last post, you have the tool set correctly as QuestaSim, but you put the executable itself in the location field. It should just be the win64 directory to get rid of the error.

Does Questasim start OK if you manually run vsim.exe?

No, It has a licensing issue.
I have already filed a request "Full License for Quartus Prime Pro Edition"
to resolve the issue. Not much of traction on this request.
I appreciate if you could lead me to expedite the process.

Hi,
I have installed a license as suggested and the process is going further but I still have a problem compile and simulate with vsim.exe and the issues is still a license issue.
I am running Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition on window 10.
I have created a license and saved it in /licenses/flexlm directory
I have set the system variables, SALT_LICENSE_SERVER, MGLS_LICENSE_FILE, LM_LICENSE_FILE to the path of the license. I ran "Launch Simulation Library Compiler". Compilation failed due to checking out license for vsim as shown below,
Here is the output of the compilation,
"Info: Start compiling process

Any idea to fix this failure and move forward with simulation.
