    Hello there, I just made a default widget application and got the same errors.

    .pro file for default app:

    0_1517835982737_.proTestFile.PNG

    errors:
    0_1517835987488_errorTestApplication.PNG

    It does seem like Qt or my system can't detect where the Visual Studio 2015 headers are located. At this point, I'm considering just doing a fresh reinstall of this computer's OS.

    Thank you in advance.

    Before you do this, please show us the messages from the "Compile Output" pane when you re-build the minimal example (Please insert as text here).

    Qt has to stay free or it will die.

        Looking at your compiler call, I see that all includes are relative paths. I'm not sure this is related, but I have seen only absolute paths so far.

        Can you try to create a "Plain C++ Application" (in Creator: File -> New File or Project -> Non-Qt Project -> Plain C++ Application) and see if that compiles?

        Qt has to stay free or it will die.

          Hello there,

          I just did a reinstall of Windows and I did a plain C++ application as you suggested and I get this:

            So nothing really changed, Qt still fails to detect any of the standard visual studio headers and given that i've been working on this for over 2 weeks. I'm starting to be rather irritated (sorry, just venting.)

              On a side note, when I installed Visual Studio and Qt, when I tried to run the plain program, it just said 'cannot find 'cl' did you set up your environment?

              I might as well ask, is setting up my environment just going in my system environment variables and adding the path to my compiler ?

              0_1518014531769_systemEnvironment.PNG

              All I did was add the last two lines.

              I'm working on windows 10 also, if that does anything.

                That seems to describe you problem more clearly. Adding paths to the environment will probably not help you.

                Have you checked QTCREATORBUG-17474?

                  Am I supposed to run vcvarsall in the cmd, I thought qt just did it when you start compiling. if I was to try it, what would be the syntax for the command?

                  Here are my settings, I know the error says it has no path for the compiler but that was after I removed the 2 lines from my system environment variables.

                      What if you start directly the command line through one of the shortcuts provided with Visual Studio ?

                              @aha_1980 I would like to share your optimism, but I mostly don't understand anything from the answers to 'fix' this problem. As soon as we go into cmd or system32 related things I lose track of where to go and what to do because I can't conceptualize how to fix it.

                                @SGaist I already explored that possibility some days ago, but I have the system32 path in my system environment variables

                                  @jBesserer So what happens if you enter reg in a Command Prompt?

                                  Can you show us the contentes of your PATH variable? (as text please).

                                  Sometimes windows has problems traversing the PATH if it contains an invalid directory.

                                  Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                                      In a different vein, it is okay if Visual Studio installed 2 different versions of the 2015 redist for (x64) ? Could that also cause a conflict?

                                        @jBesserer: Is it correct that you used the "Cross Tools" Command Prompt?

                                        In a different vein, it is okay if Visual Studio installed 2 different versions of the 2015 redist for (x64) ? Could that also cause a conflict?

                                        Honestly, I don't know. The only tip I can give you is to debug the vcvars.bat and maybe ask for help in a Visual Studio forum. As the reg command is available for you, it must be something else that disallows your compiler usage.

                                        Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                                          @jBesserer: I just have another idea.

                                          On http://www.randygaul.net/2016/06/03/faster-vcvars32-bat is a description on how to speed up the vcvars32.bit.

                                          As the essence, he describes the variables that are set by this batch file. Maybe doing it like him gives you a running Visual Studio prompt that can also be used from Creator.

                                          Qt has to stay free or it will die.
