Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for QT 5.3.2
-
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The reason behind using that outdated version is that my code is already written on it.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The reason behind using that outdated version is that my code is already written on it.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 link. Ii have installed QT on my PC.
But now i am facing issues in adding kit and compiler.
I have also attached some screen shots.
Could you please help me out in adding kits and compilers?

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). -

Okay. Now I am installing version 2015 Community.
Will QT auto detect kits and compilers once the installation completed?@Mar_60 said in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for QT 5.3.2:

It should. If not try to reinstall Qt.

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 It is a bit outdated now, but most of it should still be relevant.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.

@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 thanks. It worked.
But I want to know what is the difference between these different names of setups?
MinGW, winRt, and openGL?@Mar_60 MinGW uses MinGW which is Windows port of GCC compiler.
JKSH already explained what WinRT means, if you want to know more about UWP please do some research on Internet.
OpenGL is used by Qt for rendering QML and some other parts.
