Solution 1:
Each device (xc3000, xc4000, etc..) contains a corresponding data directory,
within which an appropriate flow definition file (flow.dfn) is found.
i.e: $XILINX/xc3000/data/flow.dfn
$XILINX/xc4000/data/flow.dfn ...
The above mentioned message occurs if the flow.dfn file is
not found for the respective family, or has been corrupted in some way.
Replace missing/corrupted files with those found on the Design Implementation Tools CD.
1. Search for all *.dfn files on the Design Implementation CD
2. Copy each flow.dfn file into its respective
$XILINX/<device>/data directory
3. Re-start implementation
