Device file for MAX V is broken

Could someone help? 

 

Installed Quartus 15 without any issue. Downloaded the device file for the MAX II/V from the site. Ran the Device Installer program and it found the device file. When I click "Next", it tried to read in the file but chocked with an error message of "Unknown element arria10_part1" and then aborted. 

 

Any help? 

 

Thanks

This is an apparent known bug for windows 8.1 and quartus. 

 

According to this forum, there was a patch installed.

I know quartus is at 15.0.2 now (check the updates tab) so I would try that first and then run. 

 

Personally I'm running linux and didn't have the problem you mentioned.

You can try to install the complete device database to see if error goes away.
