Program database manager mismatch
-
I'm with you, this has been the hardest program to install ever. QT creator's page says that if you installed the suite, it should work out of the box. Do they even know what that means?
After installing the latest QT creator, the latest VS 2015, I now have the c1902 error, and all of the "solutions" I have found are completely useless to me.
It's like the QT community doesn't want an open community or something.
What's the password to get in guys? Can I play too?
Nifty62, did you ever get this working?

Hi and welcomeIf you want a out of the box working experience just dont use
visual studio.Microsoft FORBIDS anyone to bundle it so you must set it up yourself self.
You can use mingw setup and it will just work with no extra fiddling. :)

@bauervision Well, the password is: explain a bit more what you did. You installed VS2015 and QtCreator (which version?). Did you install Qt? If so which version and for which compiler?

I installed QT suite as directed and the "works out of the box" simply didn't materialize.
I installed mingw individually but that never got me past the:
"QT Creator needs a compiler..." error.
Looking through the few forums I could find on this topic, it seemed as though most people kept pointing to there not being a compiler installed, and suggesting to install VS, so I relented and once it finished, QT at least moved past the compiler issue--which I assumed would have been regarded as progress.
I don't want to install VS. I want to use the QT suite as it is these tools that I have been directed to learn. I thought that maybe since I'm behind the firewall at work that maybe mingw was not installing properly, but I had the same results at home.

@bauervision You can use the Qt online installer to install Qt, QtCreator and MinGW, then it should work out of the box (at least for me it was always working). Do not install MinGW by yourself, use Qt online installer.

Ok, i never have had any issues with
http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.1/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.6.1.exe.mirrorlist
on windows.Are u sure u did check off the mingw compiler, ?
the online installer is sometimes "helpful" and u can install
Qt and no mingw compiler is
actually checked but it is not really that clear.
So if u try online installer again then, please look in tools
to see if mingw compiler is checked.Or use the direct mingw+qt installer i linked.

I'm uninstalling QT now, and will reinstall.
Then use the link you suggested if it doesn't work from the online installer.
Thanks everyone, sorry if I came off snarky, I'm just feeling the pressure to get this under my belt for work, and not being able to even run a simple Hello world app is very, very frustrating.

I cross fingers. :)
Yes I know the feeling when tools dont work and all you wanna do is code not
play "yet another re-install" :) -

I noticed this time when I ran the installer, that it did NOT in fact have MinGW checked, and under Tools, nothing was checked.
My guess is that since I didn't know what to look for when I first installed, but trusted that the default options would be me working, I now understand why it didn't work out of the box.
-
well you are not the first. :) (im in the club too)
The reason for this is that people might have mingw installed and setup and if it just
installed it, it might mess up the working setup.
so while not really super friendly, you will only do it once :) -
Ok that got rid of my problems.
I would set this as solved if this was my thread.
Thanks everyone
