I am in need of finding a way to install ByteBlasterII drivers.

Can someone point to where I can find these?

The drivers have been discontinued by Intel and can no longer be downloaded.

Hi,
according to support articles, Byte Blaster driver isn't working any more for Quartus Windows version since Windows 7 (more than 10 years ago). The driver is still present in Quartus distributions and also supported in Linux versions.

 

You may want to use Byte Blaster on Linux or Windows XP VM.

Check your Installation folder.  there you should find the drivers for ByteBlaster II. That's where i find them after installing Quartus.

@Maggiewang I believe you misunderstand the problem. Driver for outdated Byteblaster (Programming adapter using LPT interface) is still shipped with recent Quartus versions. But it's only working with old Windows OS.
