How can I download/get device support file (.qdz) for Stratix II device & Quartus II v13.1?

[EddieT]

I install the Quartus II v13.1 and try to open my design with Stratix II FPGA.  It give me error "Cannot open project file, device support file not installed"

I look in download center but find no "Quartus II device files (.qdz)"

Hi Edward,

You can navigate to below link and downloads the Intel® Stratix®, Intel® Stratix® II, HardCopy™ II Device Support (includes all variations). Once download, specify the .qdz file and that should be fine.

I just tried exactly this, found the listed stratix ii specific .qdz file, and quartus ii doesn't recognize it. I've tried renaming the file per suggestions on a different thread (adding _web to the file name, changing the xx.x.x.xxx version marker to match the edition of quartus ii I just installed) with no response.

I've spent hours navigating the forum trying to figure out how to get an edition of quartus up that will let me open up an old design built around a stratix ii, without success. 

- download the web edition of quartus ii (13.1.0.162)

- try the above to download the stratix ii specific .qdz file

- attempt to run Tools -> Install Devices

no valid .qdz files found

- rename the downloaded file "stratix-13.0.1.232.qdz" to "stratix_web-13.1.0.162.qdz", attempt to install devices again

no valid .qdz files found

Any suggestions?
