Hi,

I'm not finding any sort of guide to set things up in one tidy package.
First, some notes:
The Qt Project doesn't use the term "SDK" anymore.
A "kit" is a copy of the Qt libraries plus a compatible compiler.
The equivalent of "SDK" would be 1 or more "kits" plus the Qt Creator IDE.
The MinGW kit and IDE are all provided in one package, "Qt 5.4.1 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.9.1, 856 MB)" from http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-3. From what you've written, it sounds like you've already installed this package. That means you already have a "Qt SDK".

Under Build & Run,
Kits, Name: Auto-Detected, Desktop Qt 5.4.1 MinGW 32Bit
QT Versions
C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin\qmake.exe
Compiler
MinGW 4.9.1 32bit
That means your Qt SDK, based on MinGW, has been installed and detected.

Under Projects (left border) "No build settings available".
...
When I open the 'Build & Run Kits Selector' under Build menu, It displays only the small black box in lower left corner with Project name: New, Kit: Desktop Qt 5.4.1 MinGW 32Bit , Deploy: Deploy locally, & Run: QML Scene.
Can you please provide a screenshot of these?

When sitting in Edit mode, the Build drop-down menu is grayed out down to and including Cancel Build.
What am I missing? I can Run the project.
You mean can run the project, but not build it? That's very strange. Which project is this?
What happens if you create a new project? "File" -> "New File or Project..." -> "Application" -> "Qt Widgets Application"
Also, try disabling your antivirus before you open Qt Creator.
