Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for QT 5.3.2

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you ensure that you installed the C++ tools when you installed visual studio ?

You can't use a more recent version of VS like that, only since VS2017 are the compilers backward compatible.

Out of curiosity, why are you using such an outdated version of Qt and Visual Studio ?

Thanks for the reply.
The reason behind using that outdated version is that my code is already written on it.
I think that I don't have correct setup for microsoft visual studio.

Could u please help me in installing the correct setup of visual studio that would be compatible with qt5.3.2 ?

Like @SGaist said, Visual Studio 2019 is not compatible with the Qt libraries that you installed.

Actually, I am unable to install Visual Studio 2010

May I ask why?

The reason behind using that outdated version is that my code is already written on it.

Qt offers very pretty good backwards-compatibility. I suggest you try to build your code using a newer version of Qt.

At the very least, try Qt 5.6.3 for MSVC 2015. This version is compatible with Visual Studio 2019.

@JKSH Thanks for the reply.

Doesn't look like you did as your Kit is broken.
What exact Qt version did you install (please do not show "About QtCreator" dialog - it doesn't matter here, check "Qt Versions" tab instead).

Mar_60

@jsulm I just installed from this link: qt-opensource-windows-x86-winrt-msvc2015-5.6.3.exe

jsulm

@Mar_60 Did you install Visual Studio 2015? Because you installed Qt for Visual Studio 2015.

Mar_60

No, I have installed visual studio 2019 as per above recommendation

jsulm

@Mar_60 2019 is not compatible with 2015.
And if you look once more at what @JKSH suggested you you will see that he suggested to use 2015.

Mar_60

Okay. Now I am installing version 2015 Community.
Will QT auto detect kits and compilers once the installation completed?

It should. If not try to reinstall Qt.

Mar_60

I tried but unfortunately it didn't work.

Could I install QT from this link: qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.6.3.exe

Will I need to install any thing else after installing QT from the above link?

qt-opensource-windows-x86-winrt-msvc2015-5.6.3.exe

This link's name contains winrt. This means it is for building apps for Windows Runtime or "Metro Apps", or its successor Universal Windows Platform (UWP). It is not for building Desktop applications.

Could I install QT from this link: qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.6.3.exe

Yes.

I suggest that you:

Uninstall all the copies of Qt/Qt Creator that you currently have
Download qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.6.3.exe
Run the installer and select 2 components:
- Qt 5.6.3 > MinGW 4.9.2 32-bit
- Tools > MinGW 4.9.2 32-bit

I just installed from this link

When you run the installer, it gives you choices on which components to select. Pay close attention to the choices; don't just keep clicking "Next".

I wrote a comprehensive "Getting Started" guide a while ago. It is a bit outdated now, but most of it should still be relevant. Please read it carefully: https://1drv.ms/w/s!AnaQjhA33g0K0lkIZPVjfsWrcPSI

I tried but unfortunately it didn't work.

If you need more help, please provide details.

2019 is not compatible with 2015.

MSVC 2015, 2017, and 2019 are all compatible with each other: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/binary-compat-2015-2017?view=vs-2019

@JKSH thanks for the reply.
I have spend a long tine in installation but unfortunately all went in vain. Now, i just want to clear the things before starting this another try.

I am going to install from this link now: link: qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.6.3.exe

For this do I need to install any prerequisites like visual studio or anything else?

TIA.

No, this already contains MinGW compiler (GCC Windows port).

@jsulm And I can build and run my application written in c++? Right?

@Mar_60 Yes
