    I am running multiple monitors: 4K and 2560x1600 resolutions. If I run the installation executable on my 4K monitor I can see the buttons on the welcome page. However, if I open the installation executable on my 2560x1600 monitor the buttons are not visible until I either move the welcome dialog to the 4K monitor or resize the dialog in the 2560x1600 screen.

    Is there a way to avoid this behavior?

      Hi
      You could start it with
      path/to/exe windows:dpiawareness=1
      (or zero ) Depending on your platform.

        @mrjj Thanks. I'll check this out. It appears to require using qt.conf. This appears to be a bug in the Qt installer. Has it been logged?

          Oh, QtCreator can be started with windows:dpiawareness=1 so
          i was wondering if the installer can too.

          I had a fast search on
          https://bugreports.qt.io
          but didn't see something like that.

          Could you possible provide a screenshot of when its "wrong" ?
