  • By default, the Auto install after download and After-install actions options install supplementary software and programming hardware drivers automatically following Quartus® Prime installation. To disable automatic installation of one or more supporting software or drivers, turn off or change the value of the Install drivers option. If installation of any supplementary software or driver files fails, the installer prompts you to correct the issue before continuing.
