You need Xilinx "Programming Tools" 13.1 for the new Fila10G.

Also drivers for Network Controller, Graphics. They are in my notes. Can get them from the intel site

Environment Variables:

These need setting manualy or things just don't work.

 LMC_HOME       c:\Xilinx\10.1\ISE\smartmodel\nt\installed_nt

 XILINX                   c:\Xilinx\10.1\ISE

I followed Installation (3) with an install of XP Professional, it didn't work Only one item not covered in the document that I am aware off. You need an environment variable XILINX setup. This I set under System Properties - Environment Variables

XILINX c:\Xilinx\12.4\LabTools\LabTools

This should point to what ever version of LabTools you have installed.

I put in this env variable under the "Administrator" account and it all works now. I had the environment variable set under the "dbbc" account but things did not work.
