    @JKSH said in qt 4.8.7 kit is valid only for console applications !!:

    Hi @user543120, how did you install your kit?

    Also, I'm curious... why is it labelled "Qt 4.8.7 (qt5)"? Is it Qt 4 or Qt 5?

    it's qt 4.8 but the folder name is qt5 , I know it's a bad idea

    Where did you get the Qt 4 from? Which compiler was used to build it?

    As you can see from the tooltip, MSVC 14.0 is not compatible.

    And yes, I would not call it Qt5. At least not, if you want help from others...

    Qt has to stay free or it will die.

      @aha_1980 I got it from the source nearly a year ago and was working with it until yesterday when I installed a new windows
      the warning always appeared but it doesn't cause any problems , also I'm now able to compile qt console applications very well

        Again: Which compiler was used to build the Qt4?

        Have you installed the service packs for MSVC 14.0?

              during configuring qt 4.8 I got this in the configuration :
              QMAKESPEC...................win32-msvc2015 (commandline)

              is this the cause of the problem ?

                the problem seems to be not appearing on qt creator 4.4 but when I installed new windows and downloaded qt creator 4.7 the qt 4.8 kit didn't work

                did you drop the qt 4 support ?

                  Hi,

                  AFAIK, there was no support drop of Qt 4 in Qt Creator.

                  You can also install Qt 4.8.7 using the online installer. You can then check if there are other troubles with your version of Qt Creator.

                    I don't know if the Qt Creator engineers decided to drop support or not, but Qt 4 reached End-of-Life in December 2015. That means nobody checks if Qt 4 still works properly in newer products; it's possible that something broke but nobody realized.

                    You can try installing Qt Creator 4.4 and see if that helps: http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/4.4/

                        If you need to support an old version of Qt, then I recommend you keep using Qt Creator 4.4.

                          It may be that nobody checks if Creator is still compatible with Qt4, but I can successfully work with Creator 4.7, Qt 4.8.2 and MSVC 2010 SP1, including debugging.

                          The Qt version was not self compiled, it was an official release.

                          Regards
