Nativelink error while trying to run RTL simulation

[Altera_Forum]

Hi I'm new to this forum and also just recently acquired Cyclone 2 DE2 board. I was Doing a simple VHDL program and tried to run RTL simulation and got a Nativelink error saying:  

 "Can't launch the ModelSim - Altera software--- The path to the location of the executables for the ModelSim-Altera sofware were not specified or the executables were not found at specific path.. Check Nativelink log file C:/altera/13.0/quartusprojects/test_nativelink_simulation.rpt for detailed error messages"  I looked at the report. It said "Unable to find software for the selected file. File name: test_nativelink_simulation.rpt" It gave me three options:  1. Search web for suitable software  2. Learn more about .rpt file format 3. search through windows  I'm guessing option 1? Any insight?

I think you have to manually set that up; look here:

I solved this problem by putting an extra \ at the end of the path. i.e. C:\altera\13.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem 

 Hopefully that is useful to someone.
