    The "Burning Sun's Avatar" thing is showing when running the application after
    setting the project up with the msvc kit option.

    'D:\QT_2nd\5.10.1\msvc2017_64\bin\rcc.exe -name icons ..\untitled56\icons.qrc -o debug\qrc_icons.cpp' <-- This does indeed show up in compiler output so the test project seems to work just fine.

      Ok so your kit seems valid and rcc is run.

      Try to delete complete build folder for your project and
      run rebuild all and check if your project calls rcc.exe

        rcc is called and the .png shows up :
        D:\QT_2nd\5.10.1\msvc2017_64\bin\rcc.exe -name resource ..\QComboBoxDemo\resource.qrc -o debug\qrc_resource.cpp

        but this is still the only synthax that works:

        ui->comboBox->addItem(QIcon(":/png/foo"),"Hanko");

        Also before reinstalling no synthax variant at all worked, that's for shure.
        But now image loading is feasable of course, so the problem is not that urgent anymore. Still it's strange why other synthax variants don't work as supposed, and why things only started to come together after reinstalling Qt+Qt Creator. Anyways...

          Hi
          That is a bit odd. But I have only used ":/" with icons and
          "qrc:/" with QML so would not have noticed if was broken once.
          Regarding the reinstall- maybe scanner ate rcc.exe the first time or something else
          blocked from being installed. Hard to guess at. its normally always included.

            You mean anti-malware scanner? Well that would have to be windows defender then, since I don't have anything else installed of that nature.
            Is there maybe still a way to somehow exclude rcc from installation by making wrong selections in the dialogs during installation of Qt+Qt Creator? You said it's a core feature, but...

              Yeah, but its rare i have seen Defender eat anything so most likely something else.
              As far as I know, rcc i included in all precompiled and there is no option to not have it installed.

                Hm, removed the mingw53_32 folder from the installation because I thought that
                maybe "QT Creator" itself somehow needed mingw53_32 to be present to function correctly, but nothing changed. The path to the alias still works correctly although
                other synthaxes don't work, but that seems to be another issue so maybe my build directory just got corrupted somehow. Anyhow thanks for your help.

                  The non-alias resource path works too now. Cool ;-)

                    You can't seem to use a non-alias resource path once an alias has been assigned.

                      Like
                      <file alias="cut-img.png">images/cut.png</file>
                      and then you cannot use ":/images/cut-img.png" anymore ?

                        Exactly. Once an alias has been defined, I can access the resource by that alias exclusively.

                          Ok, not sure if by design or not working.

                            Seems to be the same for Desktop_Qt_5_10_1_MinGW_32bit-Debug.

                            Before I was using Desktop_Qt_5_10_1_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug.

                              Hi
                              I thinks by design. Its not ALSO listed under org name so
                              only the alias name is available.

                                  Seems like it helps to delete the build folder or clean project and run qmake+rebuild.
