    @MartinD said in Qt Creator 4.7.2 update problems:

    I don't want to delete pro.user file as my project has quite complex configuration.

    Unfortunately, sometimes that's the only way to fix things.

    But how about copying your project into a second folder, delete the .pro.user there and doing a clean rebuild?

    Qt has to stay free or it will die.

      I configured my Qt 5.7.0 manually and selected correct compilers.

      I deleted old pro.user file and manually reconfigured my project again.

      EDIT: Nope, still this error:

      16:55:48: Starting D:\MyProject\debug\MyApp...
      16:55:48: Failed to start program. Path or permissions wrong?
      16:55:48: D:/MyProject/debug/MyAppexited with code -1
      16:55:48: The process failed to start. Either the invoked program "D:/MyProject/debug/MyApp" is missing, or you may have insufficient permissions to invoke the program.
      

      D:/MyProject/debug/MyApp.exe exists. MyProject is subdirs project. I can run other subprojects of my project from QtCreator, but this particular one I can't. MyApp links to some dlls (but also other projects from my subdirs project do), maybe this is the issue.

      Still, I can't see .exe in the path D:/MyProject/debug/MyApp .

      Any advise?

        I disabled protection in My Kaspersky antivirus which I use - didn't help.

          @MartinD After reconfiguring did you rebuild your app (delete the whole build directory)?
          Did you try to start the app manually?

            Yes, I deleted the build directory, the project was rebuilt.

            Manually, the app runs (when ll neccessary dlls are manually copied to the folder).

              @MartinD You should check the "Run Settings" of your project

                Run settings are default. Executable is "D:\Projects\build-MyProject-Qt_5_7_0_MSVC2013_32bit-Debug\MyApp\debug\MyApp" and Working dir is "D:\Projects\build-MyProject-Qt_5_7_0_MSVC2013_32bit-Debug\MyApp". Run in terminal unhecked, Add build library search path to PATH checked.

                All three executable subprojects in my subdirs project have this configuration. Two subprojects can run, this one can't.

                I haven't changed anything in run confiuration after Qt Creato upgrade.

                  @MartinD Executable and working directory can't be same!
                  If "D:/MyProject/debug/MyApp.exe" is executable then working dir should be "D:/MyProject/debug".

                    It is not the same:
                    Executable is "D:\Projects\build-MyProject-Qt_5_7_0_MSVC2013_32bit-Debug\MyApp\debug\MyApp"
                    Working dir is "D:\Projects\build-MyProject-Qt_5_7_0_MSVC2013_32bit-Debug\MyApp"

                    I also tried to minimize my problematic executable project by compiling only empty main function. The executable now links only to some system dlls. Still the same issue.

                      My colleague copied me old version of Qt Creator he has installed (4.0.3). This version can launch the project. There is obviously some issue in new Qt Creator.

                        Hi @MartinD,

                        All three executable subprojects in my subdirs project have this configuration. Two subprojects can run, this one can't

                        I guess the problem is missing ".exe" in the path (MyProject.exe exists).

                        Combining these two statements, do the other two subprojects (that can be launced) have the .exe suffix?

                        Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                          No, they also don't have .exe suffix in new Qt Creator.

                          In old Qt Creator application output when launching starts with:

                          Starting D:\Projects\build-MyProject-Desktop_Qt_5_7_0_MSVC2013_32bit-Debug\MyApp\debug\MyApp.exe...

                          Whereas in new Qt Creator, as I have already written, there is no .exe suffix. Is this the issue? However, I still don't understand how it is possible that two projects can run and one not.

                            It could still be that the program crashes because it cannot load a dependent library. Have you checked if you can start the app outside Creator?

                              Yes, the app can run outside Qt Creator. Also, Qt Creator 4.0.3 can launch this app. Only new Qt Creator 4.7.2 can't launch it.

                                @MartinD Please check the Run Environment (Project > Build & Run > Run > Run Settings > Run Environment - especially PATH. I'm pretty sure it's related to something there.

                                    Already tried setting working directory to that.

                                    The difference is, that in Qt Creator 4.0.3 the Executable has .exe suffix, there is D:\Projects\build-MyProject-Qt_5_7_0_MSVC2013_32bit-Debug\MyApp\debug\MyApp.exe

                                      @MartinD Well, in my QtCreator there is no .exe suffix as well and the app starts from QtCreator. Must be something else. As @aha_1980 said it is most probably something in Run settings - you can compare those too between both QtCreator versions.

                                        @aha_1980 Thanks for that point. I found that old Qt Creator adds multiple x64 paths to PATH (my app is 32 bit), e.g.:

                                        C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Team Tools\Performance Tools\x64
                                        C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64
                                        C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\x64\

                                        Whereas new Qt Creator has:
                                        C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Team Tools\Performance Tools
                                        C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x86
                                        C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\

                                        Otherwise, the PATH is same. Changing the PATH in new Qt Creator to what old Qt Creator uses has no effect.

                                          I intentionally corrupted PATH variable in my Run Settings in new Qt Qreator for project that I'm able to launch and there is in application output:

                                          10:36:14: The program has unexpectedly finished.
                                          10:36:14: The process was ended forcefully.

                                          I.e. different error message from what I get:

                                          16:55:48: Failed to start program. Path or permissions wrong?
                                          16:55:48: D:/MyProject/debug/MyAppexited with code -1

                                          It seems that PATH is set correctly.
