QtCreator on Vista

_PIB

Qt Creator does not support Vista. That said, had anybody manage to get it running on Vista? I am getting "could not find or load the qt platform plugin windows" if I run v4.2.1 , it is probably because of shipped DLLs require W7 but I have not too much clue.

@_PIB You could try to build QtCreator on Vista.

_PIB

@jsulm can I do it without compiling Qt, using distributed binaries?

https://github.com/qtproject/qt-creator - following this manual now. Running qmake qt-creator.pro && mingw32-make gives me:
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: core core-private network script gui xml

Something is terribly wrong.

_PIB

Same problem with bundled examples: I cannot qmake them because qmake does not know a single module. What's going on?

Hi,

What exact version of Qt are you using to compile Qt Creator ?

On an unrelated note, Windows Vista has reached EOL in april this year.

_PIB

@SGaist QT5.8.0 with bundled MinGW.
I mean, I enter some random bundled QT example folder like "chip" and I cannot qmake it because qmake does not know any modules.

SGaist

Might be unrelated but where did you install Qt ?

_PIB

@SGaist no spaces in path. :D

SGaist

Can you build a default application from Qt Creator ?

_PIB

@SGaist I cannot run QtCreator, that's where it started.

SGaist

What errors are you getting when starting Qt Creator ?

_PIB

@SGaist only one fatal error: "could not find or load the qt platform plugin windows in "" "

SGaist

Can you check the plugin with Dependency Walker ?

_PIB

@SGaist there were missing exports in IEFRAME and SHLWAPI. After updated IE to IE9 there are missing exports in IEFRAME and MFPLAT and missing whole IESHIMS thingy.

_PIB

I will now try to install optional updates because I found out that there might be updates which affect those DLLs.
