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. -
I am installing Qt and I have an error: https://scr.hu/8hat/q05yo
What should I do now? -

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 isQt\/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) -

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. -

Hi
I am talking about Visual Studio as the image you shown was installing Qt for vs 2013.
To use that one, you need to Vs 2013 installed. ( its not with the Qt packet)-
To use Visual Studio with Qt library I need to download only library and paste it to VS files?
No, there is a plugin that helps use .pro files with VS. So it links to the Qt. installed. -
Is the Visual Studio better than Qt Creator?
Well better is so hard to define. I like Creator a lot and have not used newer VS so much.
So i think its more a question of taste. VS IDE has many features. More than Creator. But
for me Creator have what i need. Also Creator offer in project Designer for GUI. The integrations in Vs
was not the same. But VS IDE also have many plusses.
That said.
Using the visual compiler ( NOT IDE) if often more fun than mingw on windows if you want to use
external libraries. They can be hard to build with anything but vs compiler. -
