the Transceiver Toolkit definitely works in 10.1sp1. you might consider upgrading 

 can you launch Transceiver Toolkit in 10.0sp1 from the Tools menu?

I am having the same issue with Quartus 13.0sp1. System Console works correctly but Transceiver Toolkit does not: I get the error ": "Please put Quartus in your path and restart System Console before attempting to use Transceiver Toolkit". I do not see where this path is set. One clue may be that the directory in which my scripts are stored (and shows up in System Console) is not the default system Console directory under the installation directory. I think this may have been changed by a co-worker, but I do not see where this can be changed. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Quartus, but this doe not fix the issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello! 

I have the same problem in Quartus 13.1 Subscription Edition ( Final build with latest updates 13.1.4.182 ). System Console works correctly but Transceiver Toolkit does not: I get the error ": "Please put Quartus in your path and restart System Console before attempting to use Transceiver Toolkit". Did anyone solve it?

With Windows 7 just open control panel -> system -> advanced system settings. 

Then under "Environment variables" edit the path variable and add the subdir of where you've QII installed.  by default it shall be something like: C:\altera\<version>\quartus\bin64  If you do not solve this, open an SR with all the details of your installation and operating system you have. Also state if you have admin rights or not, because else you should do something different maybe.  I hope this helps.

Try running system console in debug mode and opening Transceiver Toolkit from there. It's going to print a lot of debug information and may give you some hints about what's going wrong.  

 # change this to your path $ /opt/altera/14.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/system-console -debug  Thanks, Evgeni
