    To check if Qt Creator correctly initializes MSVC, see Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Compilers

      Check the build environment in projects mode/Kit-name/Build. Does it contain everything you need? It should have everything from vcvarswhatever.bat.

      If it does not, then please file a bug report and add whatever is missing as a work around.

        I observe the same problem. My configuration is the latest Qt 5.2.0 + Qt Creator 3.0.0, Visual Studio 2012 Express, Windows SDK For Windows 8.1, Windows 8.1 64bit.

        I installed everything on clean machine in the following order:

        1. Windows SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/desktop/bg162891)
        2. Visual Studio 2012 Express (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34673)
        3. Qt has been installed with the Qt Online Installer for Windows (http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/online_installers/1.5/qt-windows-opensource-1.5.0-x86-online.exe)

        As the result I got
        !http://files.rsdn.ru/12237/qtversions.PNG(Qt Versions)!
        !http://files.rsdn.ru/12237/qtcompilers.PNG(Compilers)!
        !http://files.rsdn.ru/12237/qtkits.PNG(Qt Kits)!

        But when add the Qt 5.2.0 MSVC2012 32 bit kit to my project, building environment contains nothing related to Visual Studio 2012 compiler (INCLUDE, PATH, LIB and so on)
        !http://files.rsdn.ru/12237/qtproject.PNG(Project)!

        What's wrong?

        Thank in advance.

        BR,

          Very strange. I don't know what's going on, but this user seems to have found a way around the issue: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewreply/163521/

            Dear JKSH!

            Yes , this is workaround but this is not solution. Imagine that I can have both 2010 and 2012 studio (actually it is so). In that case I have to restart the qt creator switching between 2010 and 2012.

            Remark that this applies to express versions. On my work machine (windows 7 pro + visual studio 2010 pro + qt 5.2.1) there is no such problem.

              If you're willing, please post a bug report at https://bugreports.qt-project.org/ and attach your screenshots.

              This might help the Qt Creator team find a proper solution.

              I don't think the problem is with Express -- I use MSVC 2012 and MSVC 2013 Express with Qt Creator, with no issues.

                  I found one moment that may became cause of the problem. This is profile name. On my work machine I have latin profile name
                  APPDATA=C:\Users\Stranger\AppData\Roaming, but on home machine there is cyrillic profile name:
                  APPDATA=C:\Users\Толик\AppData\Roaming

                      Hi :) Found this post while searching for "'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command". I got this message in Qt Creator building a project with Qt 4.8.5 and MSVC 2010. Strange thing since it worked earlier today.

                      I found the reason and solution for me: an application I had installed in the mean time (between working and non working compiling in Creator) had wiped out my System PATH variable. Luckily I was able to recover it using this post on SuperUser: http://superuser.com/a/265575

                      Might not be relevant for the original posters problem, but others may end up here like me searching for the same problem. :)

                        Daniel Teske has found workaround: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-11539

                        You should redirect TMP to path without non-latin non-space characters. For example TMP=c:\tmp works fine.

                          Hey. This topic ranks high in Google searches for similar problem, so I'm adding that users of Qt 5.7.0 / MSVC2015 might hit what looks like a QTCreator bug, where QTCreator incorrectly runs VC's initialization script. See QTCREATORBUG-16397 - MSVC2015 builds fail due to calling architecture-specific vcvars with architecture parameter.

                            I have experienced same thing. All environment variables related with VC was not set automatically when QtCreator launched. I solved the issue by changing Windows account name. If the account name has some special characters(like "&"), it seems the environment values are not parsed properly during invoking vcvar.

                              @DY-Kim I would avoid using such user names as user names are part of paths like c:\users\USER_NAME
                              If a user name contains characters which have special meaning for the CMD/shell then you can expect troubles like what you described.
