Hello everyone, 

 

I am currently using Windows 7 and I am having problem with the installation of Altera version 12.1. Tried too many times, but the problem still persist. I tried installing from the CD installer and also downloaded it from Altera website but the same error shows. These are the errors: 

 

 

Traceback (most recent call last): 

 

File "d:/SJ/nightly/12.1/177/w32/work/installers/windows32\build\pyi.win32\altera_installer_gui\outPYZ1.pyz/process", line 137, in start 

 

File "d:/SJ/nightly/12.1/177/w32/work/installers/windows32\build\pyi.win32\altera_installer_gui\outPYZ1.pyz/subprocess", line 621, in __init__

Windows has a file name length limit. Try it with the installer in C:\. Also, make sure the install location has a short name with every character A-Z, a-z or 0-9 and no spaces in the name (like "Program Files") I just use C:\altera
