im a newbie in quartus II.i tried to simulate the full adder in verilog hdl but it seems cant work!!when i tried to compile the files, there's no error but have a few warnings. 

but when it comes for simulation...the msg appeared>> 

 

Error: Can't launch the Active-HDL software -- the path to the location of the executables for the Active-HDL software were not specified or the executables were not found at specified path. 

 

Error: You can specify the path in the EDA Tool Options page of the Options dialog box or using the Tcl command set_user_option. 

 

Error: NativeLink Simulation failed 

 

Am i did the wrong files source code or the way i setting the eda simulation tools is not correct??pls help me... 

 

this is my full adder file 

 

module fulladder (a,b,carry_in,sum,carry_out); 

input a,b; 

input carry_in; 

output [1:0] sum;  

output carry_out;  

 

half_adder H1 (carry, sum[0], a, b); 

half_adder H2 (carry_out, sum[1], carry, carry_in); 

endmodule  

 

module half_adder(carry, sum, a, b); 

input a; 

input b; 

output carry; 

output sum; 

 

xor X1 (sum, a, b); 

and A1 (carry, a, b); 

endmodule

Go to tools -> options. Under General, EDA Tool Options. Set the executable path for Active-HDL simulator (e.g. C:\Program Files\Aldec\Active-HDL 7.2\BIN). Then later you can launch the simulator using native-link (i.e. Tools->EDA Simulation Tools -> Run ...)
