I didn't know where to post this, I hope this is not totally the wrong place. The Quartus II Web Edition (version 5.0) program for verilog synthesis won't install (it can be downloaded from https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/altera_design/quartus_we/dnl-quartus_we.jsp ). As now seems to be the phase for getting everything to install i hope this report can be of some help. Below is the error I get from trying to install it. The progress bar starts but then it hangs and nothing gets installed. It seems to use installshield or whatever, I'm not sure how helpful this information is. fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:RpcChannelBuffer_GetDestCtx (0x43450d2c,0x43450d30), stub! fixme:ole:RpcChannelBuffer_GetDestCtx (0x43450d28,0x43450d2c), stub! fixme:ole:_copy_arg Should not use VariantChangeType here.
