When I try to use the On-Chip Instrumentation (OCI) core with nios-debug I get the following message: "ParPort2000 driver load failed". How do I fix this?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

If you are not currently using Quartus II 3.0 Service Pack 1 and Nios 3.1, you should upgrade to these versions of the software. Next, reinstall the parport2000 driver by typing these commands at the DOS prompt or from the Nios SDK Shell:

1. cd to the parport2000 driver directory located at /altera/kits/nios/bin/fs2/bin/

2. type "psetup /q" to install the driver

You should now be able to debug Nios systems using the OCI core with the nios-debug command.
