Altera – Modelsim problems

When I start “Start Test Bench Template writer” I receive this error message 

 

 

Cannot start test bench template writing—no EDA simulation tool specified 

 

In the EDA Tool Options I specified “C:\altera\91sp2\modelsim_ase\win32aloem” 

for ModelSim and ModelSim-Altera.  

 

Still I’m getting same message.  

 

Altera version Quartus 9.1 

Modelsim Version: Altera Starter Edition 6.5b 

 

Any ideas?

try choosing ModelSim-Altera in Assignments > Settings > EDA Tools > Simulation, then running the writer

Is there any reason the file extension is vht? Should I rename it to vhd to work with the ModelSim?

.vht is just to differentiate that the file is a test bench, ModelSim will compile it without a problem
