    There is no difference in using Qt Designer on any operating system. Start Designer and open your UI file.

        Use Qt Designer to remove the button or whatever manipulation you need to do. Once you're done, save the file and recompile your project.

            Can you share the offending .ui file somehow? Perhaps upload it somewhere where we can download it from?

              It should be somewhere in the directory where you have installed Qt in. Probably there should be entries in the start menu too. As I always use self compiled Qt libs, I cannot assist further where to look. It depends on whether you use the libs or the SDK, too.

                  We can't guess where you installed Qt, and how. I think the default location is something like C:\QtSdk
                  I found a designer.exe in
                  Desktop\Qt<version>\bin under my QtSDK directory.

                      It does have it, just not in the location of the designer.exe. Can't you just open your .ui file directly from QtCreator? Or do you then end up with the empty dialog again?

                        (First: install a full Qt into your machine.)

                        Start this first:
                        Windows Start Menu >> All Programs >> Qt SDK >> Desktop >> Qt 4.8.1..... (C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.8.1\mingw\bin\qtenv2.bat)

                        And in the opened command line start this:
                        c:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.8.1\mingw\bin\designer.exe

                        This is the designer (in my machine).

                              Microsoft Windows doesn't contain Qt at all!
                              You have to download and install the Qt (https://qt-project.org/downloads) in Windows.

                                and how can you see screenshots of me using qt if i haven't it installed?
                                yes ofcourse i have dowloaded qt from that link..
                                your previous solution opens the designer.. but i can't do that everytime i need to edit my ui file..
                                i want to have it all in qtcreator...

                                  Even if i edit the mainwidnow.ui with the designer, nothing will have changed if i debug the application..

                                  I am forced 3 days now, to go to ubuntu, developer it there and test it in windows.. :/

                                    You should tell us, what you did so far. What did you download and what did you install?
