It appears that starting with Quartus 6.1 the file directory structure has changed. If you are using Quartus 6.1 and trying to install the USB Blaster driver you will encounter errors if you use the instructions on their driver installation web page 

 

You can use the following instructions for USB Blaster driver installation with Quartus 6.1: 

 

1. Plug in the USB Blaster download cable. 

 

2. Windows show message “Found New Hardware Wizarrd”, chose “install from a list or specific location”. click Next. 

 

3. click include this location in the search, browse the folder: ..\drivers\usb-blaster, click Next. 

 

4. choose Continue Anyway when installing.  

 

5. click Finish. 

 

Enjoy!
