I had 13.0sp1 web edition installed and have no problem using SignalTap. I can find that file in the installed directory together with the rest of Quartus files. For example, my quartus is installed at F:\altera\13.0sp1\quartus\bin. I can find this file there as such: 

06/12/2013 06:47 PM 58,880 sys_tb2_install_dialog.dll  Do you see that file? How did you start Quartus? Are you running with admin permission?

The sys_tb2_install_dialog.dll file isn't exists at my local directory c:\altera\13.0sp1\quartus\bin but found at c:\altera\13.0sp1\quartus\bin64 . 

my pc is 32 bit so i run tb2_install.exe from c:\altera\13.0sp1\quartus\bin . i tried to copy sys_tb2_install_dialog.dll from bin64 directory to bin directory and it didn't work ...  should i install quartus again ? this time with sp1 ?

I have a 32-bit Windows. I don't have that file in bin64 at all. You definitely shouldn't copy any files between bin and bin64, especially those binary files. 32-bit program can not load 64-bit dlls, and vice versa. It is an operating system thing. 

 I doubt it is a problem with 13.0. I don't remember I had problem there. I'd say that you should uninstall and re-install. Since you are re-installing anyway, you should just go with sp1. I know I need to enable talkback to use SignalTap. I think I mostly likely enabled it when installer asked. (? or some other step.) It was just 2nd nature to me to answer yes to that question for the sake of using SignalTap. I don't even know this tb2_install.exe program anymore.
