    Hi there,

    I recently upgraded to VS2012 so I installed Qt 5.0.2 and the VS add-in (1.2.1) on a few development machines and it worked like a charm. Today I tried installing it on an another machine and to my surprise there was no "QT5" menu in VS.

    I registered the addin manually, through Tools->Options->Environment->Add-in Security, adding the path to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Digia\Qt5VSAddin\11.0". After restarting VS2012, I got the "QT5" menu entry.

    The problem is, the Qt project templates are not available when I try to create a new Qt project. I was looking for a way to add them manually as well, but did not succeed.

    I suspect the problem is related to my running VS from a non-administrator account (all the other machines I was configuring and working from an administrator account). Is there any way to fix my VS configuration somehow? Thanks!

      AFAIK you need the admin rights when using visual studio. At least my old msvc2005 it displaying every time a message indicating so during start-up. I would expect that this is the same with msvc2012.

      Based on this I would check at first that there is no correlation with the missing admin rights.

      Vote the answer(s) that helped you to solve your issue(s)

        I don't think that's the issue, because I've been using VS2010 with Qt 4.8.0 and the 1.1.11 addin until now as the same non-admin user until now without a problem. Also, running VS2012 from the admin account doesn't help - the addin is still inactive until I add it through the manager, and the templates are unavailable as well after that.
