Qt Creator and MS C++ Build Tools

Nikolay D. Bychinskiy

It installs multiple things, code checks for vcbuildtools.bat in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools" which I have.

I'm in same situation of Nikolay. QtCreator 4.0 doesn't detect MS C++ Build Tools, on a Win 7 32 bit machine, and there isn't a way to manually add MSVC toolchain.
On the same machine, QtCreator 3.6.1 auto detects MSVC toolchain correctly.

Same here. Qt Creator 4.0 cannot detect MS C++ Build Tools. I'm running a Windows Server 2012 64bit

I'm having the same problem on a Win 7 Desktop.
Are Qt Creator 4.0 and Qt 5.6 compatible with:
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
Version 14.0.23107.0 D14REL

Hello . I'm MSVC2015 problems , it does not work and gives as not recognized CL command. What can it be ?

Hi,

Did you install Visual Studio 2015 or at least the corresponding Build Tool package ?

joaopagotto

It worked and stopped for no reason.

I can only do work that way.

Open Windows 10 Line Command:

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86

C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\qtcreator.exe

Only in this way works.

Along with MSVC 2015 package appears an exclamation mark .

SGaist

You should be able to get more information hovering the exclamation mark

Silly question but do you have setup cmake in the corresponding tab ?

joaopagotto

The problem was solved.

The operating system or visual studio 2015 should be corrupted after formatting and reinstalling everything functioned normally .

Other applications were also with strange behavior .

SGaist

2016 and reformatting still works well it seems :D

Glad you found a solution and thanks for sharing.

Since you have it working now, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tools" button so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

Hello,
I've got exactly the same problem and I do not know how to fix it.

I installed
https://www.visualstudio.com/pl/downloads/?rr=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.pl%2F
Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017
but I cannot set this in qtcreator.

@twar What exact Qt version did you install?
"but I cannot set this in qtcreator" - what exactly is the problem?

Sorry for trouble it was my bad.
I tried to use Qt 5.6.3 for Windows 64-bit with build tools for visual studio 2017 but now I downloaded Qt 5.9.2 for Windows (2.2 GB) (info) and it seems to work just fine.
