Link Copied
I'm having a problem too making Quartus prime run after. i enter some basic config data:
when i click finish after this it loops forever, if i decide to close the program it then wants to tell Microsoft. I suggest it may be something to do with i have resisted using the EDGE browser and when i gave me the opportunity to reload a I reloaded Firefox again by clicking the Firefox link on the list of browsers it gave.
It tells me all the time that my browser is unsuitable i suspect that because I'm not using edge Quartus has been disabled in some way by Microsoft just promote use of edge.
still loping no errors, will leave it all night and see what happens.
see attached screen shots
is looping in this window
and using 10% of the CPU
It is interesting to note that it had edge take over the computer on first activation to inspect the waiting message. it locked the computer expecting me to let it have edge install. I just terminated the edge process to get control back.
Quartus belongs to Inte,l why is MS screwing with Intel development products to prevent legitimate use by users developing products using Intel tools in fully licensed ways.
today's nonsense has wasted many hours that could have been better spend developing stuff to run on Cyclone V arrays. After about 8 hours i cannot use Quartus prime lite in the legitimate ways it was licensed for. I even reinstalled as administrator this made no difference. Lets see what tomorrow brings if I leave it to loop all night. Think I better look for alternative products if Intel have so little regard for users to allow MS to Bully Boy customers this way.
After 40 years in this business I'd suggest the fact that the default browser in my system should run when i click links offered in this software suggests something is going on here that that is a browser problem and there is a high probability that relationship with Microsoft is behind it. It chooses to use the obsolete Microsoft browser never used in my computer to tell me my Firefox software is unsuitable.
The fact that it messages Microsoft when I terminated the looping screen is unusual for software not directly from Microsoft. This morning i found the software still looping and it gave the same message that it was contacting Microsoft when i terminated the program. there were no error messages from the program, this in itself is unusual for a well designed program that is about to go into a infinitely long lasting loop or ending such a loop under user control.
The opening moments in using the software when your computer gets locked up if you do not allow the edge browser to install suggests having the edge browser may be an undisclosed prerequisite to using this software.
This initial behavior tells me something undisclosed is going on here that users are not made aware of and should be if the edge browser is a prerequisite, If this is not disclosed it is only a matter of time before Intel suffers significant reputational damage.
it ran all night like this. I clicked the red square, then i got one message that it was reporting to Microsoft. and worse still not Intel the software author.
account for this then
i downloaded Firefox again from this menu and nothing changed
However, Just to run this Quartus software which I've been using for a couple of years now as an old version on on a windows 7 computer that is now too slow. I made a special new AMD5 Ryzen 7 computer to run Quartus and my other CAD stuff and it all works fine excerpt for this Quartus Prime Lite latest version.
Just using the cyclone V to prototype logic for part of a new chip for musical instruments so moving to another vendor could serve my cause better than this rat-bagery and lack of real experienced diagnostic insights I've found here on Quartus.
over 40 years I've found that generally addressing the problem you know about first gets things fixed faster and often in that one fix.
