Hi all,

I am using Altera Quartus 4.0 edition, which is working fine, as far
as compilation of designs etc. is concerned. However whenever I click
on Tools --> SOPC Builder (after opening a project), it gives me the
following message in a message box:

------
Error: Path to Quartus SOPC Builder installation:

c:/program files/quartus/sopc_builder

contains spaces, which is not permitted. You will need to install
Quartus at a location without spaces in its path.

----------

After clicking OK on message box, the SOPC template disappears and the
tool is never instaniated.

I don't want to reinstall my Quartus edition again. If anybody has an
idea on how this error can be removed or how I can change the path of
SOPC Builder instaniation (say by putting "program files" as
"progra~1" somewhere, as we normally do in such cases), please help
asap.

Thanx in advance.

You might the following workaround, but officially we still reccomend
that you install somewhere without spaces in the path.

Try using DOS's subst command to map the path with spaces in it to a
drive letter would work. For example:

Quote:
subst Q: "C:\Program Files\My Quartus Installation With Spaces In It"

Then try running Quartus/SOPC Builder from the Q: drive.

Hi Jesse......

Ur tip did help me to start the SOPC builder. Since I am new to SOPC
builder and Nios, I tried to follow the Nios HW tutorial. Everything
went well. However, at the end SOPC Builder couldn't generate the
system and gave errors. This despite my following the tutorial
word-by-word.
Is it related to the installation in a folder name with spaces.
