      Hi @szerwi

      There is no Qt creator 5.8 version

      Qt 5.8 is the version of the SDK

      I think that the latest version of qtcreator is 4.2

      If you want to update your qtcreator or your qtsdk under windows you can do it ,

      From Qt Maintenance Tool

      Run Qt Maintenance Tool , then choose update components

      Then you can try Qt creator , or qt sdk version to update

          Are you using windows ?

          It is the path when you installed qt

          for me it's

          C:\Qt\MaintenanceTool.exe

          Or just START MENU and type maintenance

          Qt Maintenance Tool Should appear

              How did you install qt?

              Maybe it is better to install a new clean version of qt

              You Can download qt online installer from this Link

              https://www.qt.io/download/

              Then you Can choose the component to install

                Yes, I'm downloading new version. Unfortunately I didn't have any button to uninstall Qt so I've only deleted folder from computer :/

                  That should do it :)
                  There was not an Qt uninstall "button" in the control panel for "Remove program" ?

                      Ok. so it had issues.
                      If you are using Avast scanner. Please disable it while installing.
                      Sometimes it fux it up.

                          Well not seen AVG be in the way. So should be fine.

                          I only mention Avast as it did it 3 times for me on different pcs.
                          The last time, it would stall the .exe when i tried to debug. (silently)
                          And its not to say bad about Avast. Simply its very effective but now it append tag to window
                          when being deep scanned so not so secretly.
                          But the online installer is a bit sensitive and might give a fake timeout if timing is perfect and Avast locks the file in the right moment.

                              Hmm. seems not to be the normal timeout install error.
                              More like file write error.
                              The path looks a bit strange after the Qt there is

                              Qt\/Tools/ 
                              

                              which look odd but not that for sure - it is the issue.
                              Do you have had disk errors or anything like that in other programs?

                              Also if the online keeps borking you could try
                              https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.7/5.7.1/qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2013_64-5.7.1.exe
                              (this assumes you already have visual studio 2013 installed)

                                      Yes there is the maintenance.exe tool
                                      Found in c:\qt
                                      It can update etc so should get missing files.
                                      But if some scripts are not run as it should , i think it might fail to work.
                                      Error might be due to registry still being there but folder is gone. (was)

                                        @mrjj Ok, I'll try after installation. Do you know how to clear registry? I had about 5 more errors since last reply :/

                                          @mrjj Ok, I'll try after installation. Do you know how to clear registry? I had about 5 more errors since last reply :/

                                          Oh it dont sound good with errors.
                                          I have not seen any clean tools.
                                          Since you can normally have multiple Qts installed, i fear that
                                          the image of the failed command is used for adding it.
                                          Im "excited" to see if it can find your visual studio after.
