path to ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition 13.1

[Altera_Forum]

Hello. I just installed Quartus II 13.1 and Model-Sim Altera 13.1. I created a vector waveform file for simulation. I am getting the error message "Can't launch the ModelSim-Altera software -- the path to the location of the executables for the ModelSim-Altera software were not specified or the executables were not found at specified path." Could you throw some light?

Go to Tools->Options then General/EDA Tool Options and then you give the absolute path to the modelsim file. In my cast this is C:\altera\13.0sp1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem.

By the way I have downloaded Quartus 13.1. Do you think there is a bug?

be aware of the diference between modelsim and modelsim-altera. I dont know what it is, just that there is one.

I found out that I have to start simulation from the simulation window itself (vector waveform file).

I solved this problem by putting an extra \ at the end of the path. i.e. C:\altera\13.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem 

 Hopefully that is useful to someone.
