Check the NativeLink log file
<project folder path>/<revision name>_nativelink_simulation.rpt for detailed errormessages
If you check the contents of <revision name>_nativelink_simulation.rpt displayed in the popup, you will find the following logs:

There are two workarounds for this phenomenon:
Please try method (1) first. If that doesn't work, try (2).
Workaround 1
1. Click EDA Tool Options under Tools menu ➤ Options ➤ General in Quartus Prime.
2. From the EDA Tool column, click the […] button at the right end of the simulator line you want to use, and
Specify the absolute path of the folder where the executable program of the simulator is saved,
Add a backslash to the end of the path.
Example) C:\intelfpga_lite\22.1std\questa_fse\win64\
If the above path is specified with a slash, add a / (slash) at the end.
Example) C:/intelFPGA_lite/22.1std/questa_fse/win64/
Workaround 2
Open the qnativelinkflow.tcl file in <Quartus Prime installation folder>\quartus\common\tcl\internal\nativelink and remove the " (double quotes) on line 122.
line 122
Before modification) set questa_installation "$questa_fse_directory
After modification) set questa_installation $questa_fse_directory
