Qsys does not store IP search paths

[gyuunyuu]

I have found a possible solution here that does not work:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/fb28192.html

I am using Quartus Prime Standard 18.1. I open Qsys and goto Tools->Options so I can add search paths for the IP. I click add and select folder for IP path. Then I click Finish. When I open the window again, the search paths are gone. It seems that the search paths are not being registered for some reason.

If I keep the mouse in the white area of the window where added IP search paths show up, a tool tip shows up containing "Z:\/.altera_quartus/ip/18.1/ip_search_path/user_components.ipx". There is no drive Z: in my machine. What is going on here?

Hi Hassan,

Did below KDB applicable?

No. The problem exists inside the ipx file. The location of where to put the ipx file is a bit restricting actually.

Hi Hassan,

Could you try to add again the component file in IP Path and restart Quartus see if changes reflected

There might be something wrong with my Quartus installation.
