Solution 1: No. After installing M1.5i this versioning for pld_* is correct. Other Xilinx programs will show M1.5.25 (ie MAP, PAR), while the following will show M1.5.19: pld_da pld_dmgr pld_quicksim pld_edif2tim pld_dsgnmgr pld_dve pld_edif2sim pld_men2edif pld_xnf2sim pld_sg This is correct and normal, and has occured since these above script files did not need updating.
