Download MSVC 2012 from the Microsoft website and install it

Download Qt 5.1.1 for VS 2012 from http://download.qt-project.org/archive/qt/5.1/5.1.1/ and install it

May I ask why you don't want to use Qt 5.3.1 and MSVC 2013?

Just open Qt Creator and start a new project.

Your copy of Visual Studio must be non-Express.

You probably need to tell the add-in where to find Qt. See this tutorial: http://www.bogotobogo.com/Qt/Qt5_Visual_Studio_Add_in.php

Note: I don't have a commercial version of Visual Studio, so I can't check directly.
