install.ptf is generated by SOPC builder, and contains the location of all components installed on your system. If you start and stop SOPC builder that will create the file for you.

install.ptf file is created in folder where current desktop directory is located
which is normally Documents and Settings\<current user> . The tools search for install.ptf always in Documents and Settings\<current user> directory Once I used a multi desktop software, which set the current desktop directory in some other folder. install.ptf was created in that folder, but the tool searched in Documents and Settings\<current user> Now I reset the current desktop to the orginal directory and the error vanished.- Mark as New

java problems while generating install.ptf
I get the following message when I try to rebuild <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- make -s all Creating C:Documents... sopc_builder: unable to locate Java runtime environment at - line 417.

I found the solution.
alteras sopc_builder is not correct !
In the perl-file usually located in C:\altera\quartus42\sopc_builder\bin\sopc_builder replace: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- if (! -x $javax ) { $javax = get_java_exe($sopc_builder . "/bin/jre1.4",$shelled); }[/b] --- Quote End --- by <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- if (! -x $javax ) { $javax = get_java_exe("$quartus_dir"."/bin/jre",$shelled); }[/b] --- Quote End --- Open the Nios IDE shell and execute the following line chmod +x /cygdrive/altera/quartus42/bin/jre/bin/java.exe Now the rebuild should work.

I was wrong
The sopc_builder script is already working fine. The only thing that has to be changed is the access-right of java.exe like described above. This seems to be a fault of Nios installation. I was told that this problem will be solved in the next version (5.0) of Nios IDE
