Dear Ken,
A common problem is that you have the FULL Quartus product installed, and
the programming software is under the Quartus\bin directory and NOT under
the QProgrammer\bin directory as is specified in the batch files.  You have
several choices:
1) edit the batch file each time you download a new version of it to change
'QProgrammer' to 'Quartus'
2) where you find the Quartus directory (check the batch file for the path
appropriate for the version you are using and confirm visually by inspecting
with Windows Explorer), make a QProgrammer directory and put a copy of
Quartus\bin into QProgrammer so that you have a QProgrammer\bin directory
3) download and install QProgrammer.

You say that you have the Quartus software installed and not the QProgrammer
software.  So any of the above will work to solve your problem.

Also note that one of the batch files in 'USBBlaster Binaries' didn't seem
to have been updated for 10.0 SP1.  You can of course do that yourself,
following the pattern shown pretty clearly in the batch file, and by
comparing the batch files.

73,
George K9TRV
