    @M-Shajeeh-Mustafa You should check what exactly the issue is: go to the kit (Tools/Options/Build & Run/Kits) and put mouse cursor over the kit - you should see a pop up containing more information.

    @jsulm In that window everything seems to be perfectly fine except the cMake configuration where it says "unconfigured". Any idea how to configure cMake settings? As here

      @M-Shajeeh-Mustafa cmake doesn't matter. Can you check the compiler on "Compilers" tab?

        Have you downloaded the Microsoft Windows 10 SDK ? I had a similar problem on my machine running on Windows 10 and I correct it by downloading and installing the Microsoft Windows 8.1 SDK !!! (I think there's something missing in the version for the Windows 10)

          @OlivierDuguay yes i have the windows 10, 8.1 and 7 sdks downloaded and installed in my system. I needed them to access directshow samples and compile them some time ago.
          Also, the debugger installed in my QT (shown in debugger tab) is also from the windows 10 sdk
          @jsulm I uploaded the compiler screenshot above and myself checked in the tools>options>build and run.
          The compilers seem to be installed and working correctly. No issues with that. However if cMake is not a problem do you think the issue is with the compatibility with version 2017 because the compilers listed also correspond to 2015 version (but looks installed and detected automatically)
          what if I just start using MinGW. Is there any issues (performance wise) with that or should I continue exploring the options for Microsoft compilers? Any suggestions

            Can you just re-try with your project in a path without any space ? i.e. change GUI Tutorialsby GUI_Tutotials

              @SGaist same result with GUI_Tutorials
              I also created a new project named "Sample" and built. That too resulted in the same error.

              The kit Desktop Qt 5.8.0 MSVC2015_64bit has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem.
              When executing step "Make"

                Don't you have any red or yellow warning sign on the kit page ?

                      @jsulm Actually I knew you would say exactly the same that's why I have already placed my cursor over my default kit (the yellow one with QT 5.8.0 MSVS 2015). The yellow box shown in the picture above is actually the output when I placed my cursor above that kit. And It shows everything perfectly fine except the CMake configuration. Which it says is un-configured.

                        The Unconfigured C-Make is not a problem ! it is the same in my configuration but I'm able to use it anyway... Maybe if you take a screenshot of your configuration we could more easily find a solution to the problem... I remember having this sort of problem at the beginning, but I do not remember what I did to solve it.

                          @OlivierDuguay Is this the required configuration you are asking?
                          0_1492256168137_upload-794e9959-b67c-4ea5-a0d7-5b1844e08954
                          If not, then how to access the configuration?
