Can't launch Modelsim from Quartus

When attempting to Tools -> Run simulation tool -> RTL Simulation, I get this error

My EDA settings path is correct

I've appended an additional '\' as per this thread https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P00003yyQA2SAM/cant-launch-the-modelsimaltera-software?language=en_US

 

I also have no spaces or brackets in the path.

 

I can launch Modelsim fine on its own.

 

the nativelink_simulation.rpt file is empty.

 

Any ideas?

Go to Assignments > setting > EDA Tool Settings > Simulation. Change the Tool name to Modelsim-Altera and it should work.

 

Refer to the link below on how to use NativeLink Feature in Quartus Software:
