Make sure XILINX env variable is set correctly.

For example, XILINX = C:\Xilinx\13.4\ISE_DS\ISE

I have set two system variables:

XILINX= C:\Xilinx\13.4\ISE_DS\ISE

XILINX_EDK= C:\Xilinx\13.4\ISE_DS\EDK\bin\nt64

But still has same same error message.

Is it because I also need setting something inside of modelsim.ini?

Does the "libxil_vsim.dll" exist in current directory?

Make sure the dll is not corrupt as the error indicates bad format.

OR, you can try pointing to the same dll file at $XILINX/lib/nt
