@sierdzio could you please tell me how to set up the MSVC compiler? When I try to build my program with it, it says "Could not find the executable, plesase specify one" and gives a lineEdit to browse. so with path do i have to state?

Did you already install Visual Studio or Microsoft Build Tools and Qt for Visual Studio?

In short, it's simple:

download and install Microsof Visual Studio (it's free nowadays), make sure to check C++ download option (you don't need any of the rest: .Net, embedded, other platforms, Python and whatnot)
open Qt Maintenance Tool and add MSVC 2017 package for your Qt version
that's it, Qt Creator should now recognize that version, you just need to select it for your project in project settings

@sierdzio thank you for your answer. Now it's being detected successfully. However, when I run debug mode it produces "unexpected CDB Exit: The CDB process terminated". Do you know what might be the cause? I have researched this a bit but did not reach any solution yet.

Apart from knowing that CDB is the MSVC debugger I know nothing about it, sorry ;-)

I may be of help here :)

IIRC MSVC installation does not come automatically with the c++ debuger.
You'll need to download and install the Windows Software Developer Kit

to be found here, I think. It's been a while when I installed it.

Hi
Can be many reasons
https://forum.qt.io/topic/69130/unexpected-cdb-exit

Also, are you using Creator Or Visual Studio to run it?

Ahh, @J-Hilk beat me to it :)
You might need the standalone debugger if running from Creator.

@J.Hilk @mrjj thank you for your answers. I already had an SDK installed. I reinstalled it, but the error remains :/ could it be some version mismatch? How can I check this?

@elsa
Check the kits and see if any red marks.
