EDK 7.1 installation error: Missing libPortability.dll file

Where does your XILINX-environment-variable point to? This error usually occurs when you're using different versions of EDK and ISE.

If you want to use EDK7.1, you have to use ISE7.1 as well, otherwise you get the above error message.

I installed ISE 7.1 first with the SP's and that worked by itself. I then installed EDK (refer to my original posting).

Thanks for the response. NN

I found out what the issue was:

libPortability.dll is located in the directory %XILINX%\bin\nt. However, when you install ISE 7.1i, it sets the path to %XILINX%. For EDK to work properly, the path should be %XILINX%\bin\nt instead. Thus, the bug is that EDK should make sure that the path is %XILINX%\bin\nt, not %XILINX%. Note that ISE will work with either path configuration because Windows shortcuts (like clicking on the Project Nav icon) uses the absolute path, so ISE searches for its DLL in the path in which it resides.

I noticed that the only time that xps.exe ran was when I called it from C:\Xilinx\bin\nt (from the DOS command prompt, cmd). This observation clued me in that there were some path issues.

Fix: Make sure PATH variable has %XILINX%\bin\nt in it.

OK, good to know. I *KNEW* it was something with the path :)=
