    Hi,
    In Microsoft Visual C++ in properties for solution I can set "Multiple startup projects" and select two projects (generating executable). One is server, second is client. MSVC also automatically start debuging those projects.

    In Qt Creator the closest I get to this is to use windows bat files to start both executables. And then manually use "Attach to Unstarted Application" to start debuging.

    How else can I achieve this?

      Hi, start Qt Creator 2 times (2 instances), one for server and one for client.

        Hi,

        If both executables are in independent projects, you can open both and start each application by selecting the run target.

          Thank you both for your proposals.
          I don't need to work or debug first (server binary) application. It only needs to be started with second application on which I work.
          And when I close or finish current run i would like both application to be closed.

          Right now I launch server application by hand from file explorer and then start main (client) application from inside QtCreator.
