Error (112002): Cannot start the command line "quartus_ipgenerate" as .

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Due to a limitation of the Windows* OS, you might see this error message when the path to your Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software project directory is more than 260 characters long.

Resolution

To work around this limitation, perform one of the following actions

  1. Map a new drive letter to a lower directory in the path in order to reduce the path length. A shared network path can be mapped as a drive on the Windows OS.
        e.g. net use Z: C:\longpath_start_here\projects_names_that_are_extremely_long\platform_validation_test_for_long_path_support<...>
        This workaround only applies to shared network paths e.g. \\<url>\\
  2. Use the subst command. The subst command can be used in a script to dynamically associate some portion of the path with a virtual drive letter.
        e.g. subst Z: C:\longpath_start_here\projects_names_that_are_extremely_long\platform_validation_test_for_long_path_support<...>
  3. Use shorter path names in your project directory structure.
  4. Use shorter IP component names.

A future version of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software is scheduled to have better warning and error messages for this Windows* OS limitation.
