[hpsdr] Firmware Update Directory?

[Chris Smith]

Why run cmd from a window? Why not use My Computer to browse to the folder and double-click on the relevant .bat file?

I still suspect that the problem lies in the .bat file not being up-to-date with the release of Quartus.

If the quartus programs are in a different location then the .bat files will need to be edited to reflect the changed location. (I think there may be a version 9.1 available too.)
