Quartus 2 and Modelsim-Altera problem on Windows 10

[DrewBaden]

When I run Modelsim-Altera from inside Quartus 2, after Elaboration, Synthesis, etc, it fails inside Modelsim-Altera and complains that rtl_work is empty. And sure enough, it is. The .do file that creates the directory is created when Modelsim starts up. Here's the output from the Modelsim-Altera transcript, below. Apparently what does is first delete rtl_work if it's already there, then vlib specifies that rtl_work will be the library directory, and then vmap maps its "work" directory to rtl_work. the program vlog then builds it. At least, that's my understanding. But the problem is that the command

vmap work rtl_work

doesn't work. It doesn't happen. So vlog cannot find it.

I don't know how vmap works, but I have feeling this is a windows 10 problem, since this worked ok when I was using windows 7.

Any help?

I think I found the problem. At least, I found a workaround. It might be a windows 10 issue. What I had to do is right click on the C drive, and change all the permissions to "Full Control". Then log out and log back in. Seems to work.
