      @tomy It looks like you can try this: https://wiki.qt.io/How_to_get_snapshot_via_online_installer: "Download latest online installer from qt.io/download".

        @tomy strange, I have never had only 1 option to select from, when I used the MaintenanceTool/Online Installer.

        Try running an Update on the M-Tool or , like @Eeli-K said, get the latest Onlineinstaller from the webpage and try it with that.

        It should work.

          I'm downloading Qt online installer (although I was looking for an offline installer).
          I hope it gives me a qt like qt-opensource-windows-x86-android-5.9

            What does this mean for using M-T, please:

            And if I select the options below, will they be enough for programming both Windows and Android:

              It means you're using the MaintenanceTool from an offline installation. Which you can't update over an online feature. No repositories are linked with the tool -> Can't check for new versions.

              It should, and with this MaintenanceTool, that you're about to install, you should be able to add/remove components as you like/see fit later on without a problem.

                So should I link a repository to M-T there. These are very new for me and never have used them and have zero info. If they are not simple I stick to online installer.

                And what is Qt 5.9 Beta snapshot!!? (snapshot!)
                Is it exactly working as a new version of qt-opensource-windows-x86-android-5.8.0 ?

                  I don't think you can do that retroactive.
                  Have you ever used the QtInstallerFramework? Qt itself is packed/shipped with that framework.

                  With it you create distinct offline and online installers and once created, its created.

                  Maybe you can simply change the *.exe or something. I would suggest sticking to the Online-Installer that you downloaded :-)

                    Yes I've used QtInstallerFramework and I installed it as a separate program for my 5.8.

                    OK, to sum up:
                    1- I uninstall Qt 5.8 totally
                    2- Install 5.9 as below and then QtInstallerFramework program near qt.
                    OK?

                      you don't have to uninstall 5.8 if you don't want to. You can have multiple Versions of Qt installed simultaneously on your PC ( 5.8, 5.9, 5.1, 4.8 ...) its usually just a matter of HD-Space.

                          Well often, you install new Qt to check if a project will work with it
                          You then keep old so you can go "back" if any issues.

                          For a new project, that might not be needed :)

                            So apparently 5.9 is not as stable and reliable as 5.8 yet. So I wait until some time later and then check the online installer. I think it's a good idea.

                            One thing that is odd to me is the term "Beta snapshot" for 5.9. It makes me have doubts about it! :-)

                              I think beta versions is almost out, usually software release date is not that accurate. Unless Qt5 release date is much more punctual than FF15 :), I even wonder this game never exist before it really come out.

                                Don't be intimidated by the term snapshot, The fact that it is already in Beta means it's pretty close to be released. Snapshot just means some thing might still be added or removed form the final release.

                                Btw, found the offline download link

                                  @tomy Snapshot usually means: latest version of a development branch (latest version from 5.9 branch in this case). And yes 5.9 is not "stable" yet as it is still beta.

                                    Don't be intimidated by the term snapshot, The fact that it is already in Beta means it's pretty close to be released. Snapshot just means some thing might still be added or removed form the final release.

                                    Good.
                                    When will the "final release" be released?

                                      @tomy No idea.

                                      Originally planned was the release for 31st May 2017...

                                      But I'm pretty sure its before the Half Life 3 release ....

                                        I thought it was a troll thing.
