New ModelSim won't start!

New installation of ModelSim 10.0. I get a splash screen, which stays for a few seconds and then vanishes. No error code, no squawking about licenses, nothing. 

 

The license file is in place and pointing correctly. Quartus works just fine.

Modelsim-ASE or SE? 

 

If you're running SE, then look at the license server log files. You should see license check-outs and ins, eg., 

 

17:19:47 (mgcld) IN: "msimhdlsim" dwh@kea 17:19:52 (mgcld) OUT: "msimhdlsim" dwh@kea  

 

Cheers, 

Dave

Altera edition here, not SE, I'm afraid

Try running it from the command-line, eg., type the command 'vsim' in a NIOS IDE shell. Perhaps it'll output something that'll help determine the problem.
