Yes you have to. Microsoft does not allow other means the install Visual Studio.

Ok, but i don't understand the link between Visual Studio which is an IDE with the configuration of kits in Qt creator which is an IDE also !!
By the way i use CodeBlocks to code in C++ -
The Visual Studio installation is not just the IDE, it also provides tools to support various languages development as well as the C++ compiler (unless you forgot to check the C++ components). You can avoid the full installation by using the specific C++ build tools installer.

I see its name tells ... i tought Qt creator is equipped with necessary compilers ( as the one for C++) !!
Any way thank you for your helping :) -
The Qt Installer can provide MinGW, as said before, Microsoft does not allow installation by 3rd party.
Qt Creator is an IDE.

That's true i paid attention to the Qt online installer i found the components provided ... and it takes me two days to understand the source of problem that because i didn't select the required components ...
it stills one issue is that i downloaded the Qt lib (independently) with the offline installer ... but Qt creator doesn't locate it so where to put it so it can detect it or where's the qmake location in the Qt lib ?
-
It's explained in the Qt Creator manual.

Hi SGaist,
I checked it out but it's not telling where the location of qmake.exe :( -
That's something you should know since you installed these variants.

I don't know ... i only installed the source of components of Qt 5.15.1.. should i select other component to make qmake.exe get included ?
-
You need to install one of the pre-built packages. Sources are just that: sources.

That's right i took the time to know the role of every component to select the right ones because i was ignorant about libraries functioning .. all i was knowing is the compiler and the debugger !
Thank you so much SGaist for helping out :]
