    That's the debuggers tab. That's the first half of what I suggested.
    I meant did you add the debugger to the kit i.e. switch to "Kits" tab, select your kit and set one of the detected debuggers there.

        I can't tell from that picture. Click on the kit you are using in your project. The details for it will be shown below. In there there's a "debugger" combo box. If it's empty then open it, select CDB from the list and hit apply.

        Btw. The list there shows Qt packages compiled for VS2012 and 2013. If you're using VS2015 none of these will work correctly. You can't mix & match VS versions.

            More information : i'm using W7 64b, and the 2015 has no dbg under W8. I think it's the reason of my first trouble.
            I tried to load Windows SDK for W7, but the install failed.
            I retry to use Qt with minGW, (my first attempt), but I'm stucked on the debug error "do not support python scripting...".
            I deleted my minGW, et reloaded the latest version, carrefully installing the "mingw32_gdb_python" in the package.
            But as I try to configure Qt kit with this debuger, it's marqued "Not recognised" in the type. Qt then has the error "Unable to create a debugger engine if the type "No engine"".
            Where can I find a dbg runable with Qt and minGW, or, where can I find the information for a proper install ?
            Thanks

              @Furkas Just install MinGW which is provided through the Qt installer.

                @jsulm : Don't find minGW through Qt Installer. I selected Qt Open Source in the download page. I do not plan to buy Qt.
                What version of Qt include the MinGW ?

                  @Furkas Please don't hijack other people threads. If you want to ask about MinGW start another thread. MinGW is provided as an all-in-the-box option in the online installer for both commercial and free licenses.

                    @DelNoble The kits without exclamation marks look ok. The other two are missing a debugger (again - see the "Debugger" combo in their properties). For those just select a debugger from that combo and you should be good to go.

                            I am writing this for future reference.

                            Visual Studio 2015 installs Window SDK without debugger. You cannot change how it is installed at the moment of installation.
                            After installation you have to go to "Control Panel"->"Programs & Features" and select installed "Windows Software Development Kit". Then change the install to include debugger.

                              @Chris-Kawa When we selected the Debugger in Kits tab, we also have to select the compiler.

                              Right now I am getting 4 options for compilers :
                              0_1505197233158_CaptureNew.JPG
                              Which compiler should I choose in this case?

                                Depends on what case that is. These are C and C++ compilers:
                                x86 - 32bit compiler producing 32bit binaries
                                amd64 - 64bit compiler producing 64bit binaries
                                amd64_x86 - 64bit cross-compiler producing 32bit binaries
                                x86_amd64 - 32bit cross-compiler producing 64bit binaries

                                Choose the one you want for your project.
