Installing Quartus II device files (.qdz) on Quartus II 13.1

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to install device files for Quartus II 13.1 on Windows 7, but get the error "Can't find Quartus II Web Edition device files (.qdz) in directory ..." (see picture) 

https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9200  

 

Did anyone else hit this Problem?

Hi, it may be caused by the redirection of special path (your user's name <--> c:\users\name_user\...) 

move the *.qdz to a easy directory ("c:\downloads\" for example), and then install from them.

I also tried c:\ and c:\temp no change. I also tried on another PC. Checked MD5 Checksum. Always the same problem. It must be something with my installation procedure or the files. 

 

Installation procedure: 

 

1. Copy all Files to Desktop 

2. Start QuartusSetupWeb-13.1.0.162.exe 

3. At end of installation start Quartus 

4. Start device installer from Quartus popup window 

5. Select Folder 

6. Get Error 

 

Files:  

QuartusSetupWeb-13.1.0.162.exe 

cyclone_V-13.1.0.162.qdz 

cyclone_III_IV-13.1.0.162.qdz 

 

Maybe someone sees any irregularities. Any help is appreciated

Have you tried with "Run Quartus as administrator" ? because *.qdz file will be installed to c:\altera\... 

 

I had tested a few days ago, faced to a similar problem, retried and it worked (windows vista). 

 

If I remember correctly, I installed *.qdz from Quartus menu. 

 

rename those QDZ files by removing the '-' '.' characters. Maybe. I also tried many things.

Thanks for the help. 

 

I found the Problem. Its the file name. Depending on the Quartus License different names are accepted. The filenames that worked for the Web Editions are: 

cycloneV-13.1.0.162.qdz 

cyclone_web-13.1.0.162.qdz (III/V)

I had a same problem and thanks to your comment here, I solved it. Only by changing the name, the devices have been installed. 

Thanks

Agree with mmTsuchi, this is something worth reporting to Altera to get it fixed.

..not sure its a bug ... I had the same problem ... if the version in the filename does not match your quartus version then the installer cant see it. 

Simply changing the version number in the file name to match your quartus version allows the device installer to see the file. No need to remove dashes etc.

Hello, 

 

I had the same problem. 

If the files do not end with .XXX XXX being the quartus version indeed install does not work. 

In my case it was caused by the download file manager that added "(2)" to the file name because i downloaded it twice. 

 

Best Regards, 

Jogi.

fix name "cyclone-13.0.1.232.qdz" => "cyclone_web-13.0.1.232.qdz" and install again.

In my case I needed to remove the "_web" part to fix it, maybe this will help someone else (13.1.0.162)
