    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)

                          No. Should I ignore it and let it continue?

                                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)

                                    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.

                                      Ok, it installed. I will try to update components in maintenance now :)
                                      EDIT: I think it's working well without any update :D
