Thanks for the replay, but this installer is for 64-bit.

13.0sp1 readme.txt release note indicates Win7 32b is a supported install target for the Lite/Free tool. I know this because I have it installed on my system. 

 

On Altera's info page: https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/download/os-support.html 

 

From the table footnotes. I highlighted a couple of items. 

 

  • starting with acds v14.0, intel fpga software only supports 64 bit versions of the os listed in table 1, unless specified. 

  • The 32 bit library files are required to run the software on Linux* 64 bit platforms. 

  • Windows 8.0 only. 

  • Both 32 bit and 64 bit are supported. 

  • Only KDE desktop manager is supported. 

  • 32-bit standalone programmer is only supported in standard edition. 

 

 

So if you use a PAID version of the tools it appears a 32b version of the standalone programmer tool is supported. 

Otherwise it appears you must use 13.0sp1 or earlier to get a free 32b programmer tool.

Many thanks for the detailed explanation, I think that easiest way for my is to buy new laptop with 64-bit version. 

 

Thanks
