My XP box died the other day and was replaced by a 64 bit Windows7
machine. Now my $%^&Quartus II software won't run, and Altera says
Win7 ain't supported. Anybody know of a workaround? I'm developing on
the Altera Cyclone III FPGA on the Altium Designer NanoBoard 3000.

Thx,

Bob

It's running ok for me on Windows 7 64-bit.

What particular part of the software are you having problems with?

Win7 has an option to tell the program that it is running on
a previous version of windows, as far as such checks are concerned.

As far as the design software, that is likely to work.

As you might need a device driver to talk to USB to download
the bitstream, that might be system dependent, such that it
won't work.

Have you found any advantages to running Quartus II on WIndows 7 or a
64 bit OS?

Thanks,

So could that not be a problem with AD6, rather than Quartus?

There is an option to say where you want to install it which worked
fine for me.
