My device is a Macbook Pro 14' with an M1 chip. I have installed Parallels Desktop 18 for Mac Standard Edition (version 18.2.0) on my computer. I have also created a 64-bit ARM version of Windows 11 (22H2) and successfully installed Quartus Prime Lite Edition (22.1std.0.915) on it.
I can successfully open Quartus II and perform tasks like creating projects and compiling. However, I am unable to run simulations. It works on other computers, but here I only get an error message.
As an example, let's consider a simple half adder. The following error message appears when trying to run the simulation:
Determining the location of the ModelSim executable...
Using: c:/intelfpga_lite/22.1std/questa_fse/win64/
To specify a ModelSim executable directory, select: Tools -> Options -> EDA Tool Options
Note: if both Questa Intel FPGA Edition and ModelSim executables are available, Questa Intel FPGA Edition will be used.

Check the path to Questa in your Quartus EDA settings. There's an extra slash there "/".

Could you please share your solution? I currently have the same issue, and fixing the Questa path did not solve it.
