I am puzzled by Quartuss 7.1 .The project runs well in Quartuss 5.1,but when i create the same project in Quartuss 7.1,it always shows me error messages 

Eg. the name of project is clkdiv,when compilated ,it shows errors: 

 

Error: Tcl error: wrong# args: should be "source fileName" 

while executing 

"source e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl" 

Error: Fail to evaluate Tcl command source e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl 

Error: Quartus II EDA Netlist Writer was unsuccessful. 2 errors, 0 warnings 

Error: Quartus II Full Compilation was unsuccessful. 2 errors, 8 warnings 

 

when i try oher projects,it shows the same errors. 

I don't know what happened.Who can help me? 

Thank you very much!

Hi.. 

 

Compile your code once again and then put cursor on your error then press "F1". 

 

Sometimes its helpful to find error.. 

 

Hope it will also helpful for you.

Thanks you very much,shah! 

I tried and the help gives me the following message 

 

cause: you ran a tcl command or script but the quartus ii software incurred the specified error.  

action: check the error message to determine the cause, fix the problem, and try running the tcl command or script again.  

 

I don't know what's wrong with it.

The error occurs because the directory name is specified with a space in it (i.e. the "program files" directory). This can be fixed by adding quotes around the entire filepath. 

 

Try: 

source "e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl" 

 

Instead of: 

source e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl
