hi everyone

i've just installed quartus II v9.0 in windows vista

and i've come acrossed this error:

"Internal Error: Sub-system: ATCL, File: /quartus/ccl/atcl/atcl_root.cpp, Line: 334

Error: "ATCL": Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:

C:/Programas/altera/90/quartus/bin/tcl8.4 C:/Programas/altera/90/quartus/lib/tcl8.4 C:/Programas/altera/90/quartus/lib/tcl8.4 C:/Programas/altera/90/lib/tcl8.4 C:/Programas/altera/90/quartus/library C:/Programas/altera/90/library C:/Programas/altera/90/tcl8.4.11/library C:/Programas/altera/tcl8.4.11/library

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

What's your actual quartus\bin location? Does it contain a folder tcl8.4 and init.tcl within?

If not, have they been installed in a different location?

I guess, it may be a Windows locales problem with the spanish version.

i installed the complete version of web edition, with custom settings, except the installer had a pre defined install directory wich was c:\altera and i changed it to c:\Programas\altera

im using vista portuguese version

"Programas" is the folder Program Files....

do you think i should install it in the pre defined directory?

I've tried this and worked for me. No ones in internet had gaved me the right thing to do. Thank you very much!

I just guessed, that their may be a problem with the directory naming. Using c\altera may be a solution, but I don't know, if it's possible under Vista at all. The other option is to ask Altera support.

I now got the same issue with Altera 12.1 SP1 and Windows 7 x64. So it seems to be not fixed yet...

EDIT: found the workaround to use "program files" instead of the localized program files folder. Now it works for me!
