Solution

This error occurs when the Xilinx Environment has not been set up correctly.

The XILINX env variable must be set correctly. 

In Windows, %XILINX% can be set by running the settings32.bat or settings64.bat file in the ISE_DS directory of the installed version.

Alternatively, invoke ModelSim from the ISE Design Suite Command Prompt.
