Can't launch the Modelsim-Altera Software

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 My OS is Windows 8 64 bit. I'm using Quartus II 13.1 Web Edition, and Modelsim 10.1d.  My path in EDA Tools is set to "C:\altera\13.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem", when I go Tools > Run Similation Tool > RTL Simulation; I get this Nativelink Error:  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...  I can manually start it by the way.  Thank you Baris Yakut

--- Quote Start ---  OK, this is a link to the licensed Modelsim-Altera. But what's the path to the ModelSim starter Edition?  --- Quote End ---    "modelsim_ase" is Model Sim Altera Starter Edition.  "C:\altera\13.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem\" is the correctly location for the Starter Edition.  (and another +1 like to taquionbcn for posting the solution)

Okay, so far, in the Quartus window I'm selecting:

Assignments > Settings

Then in the pop-up window, the following category:

EDA Tool Settings > Simulation

Help, I don't see any place to insert a path to the simulator executable... The output directory is given though.

Hi,

You are looking into wrong path.

You should go to Tools> Options>EDA Tool Options

And then insert the valid path.

Thanks
