How to update Qt Creator

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) -

No. Should I ignore it and let it continue?

@mrjj I got one more error. After few minutes another two errors. Is there any repair tool for Qt that I will be able to run it after installation?
@szerwi
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 :/
@szerwi
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 -
@szerwi
Super!
Happy programming then :)
Notice. If you want a debugger for VS. you need to install it extra.
(to use in Creator. If you use VS IDE, there is a debugger) -
@mrjj I use only Qt Creator, so I don't need visual studio or I do? :D
To use Visual Studio with Qt library I need to download only library and paste it to VS files?
Is the Visual Studio better than Qt Creator?@szerwi
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. -

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