Installing Qt 4.8.6 on windows 10
-
Hello all,
I am trying to install Qt creator on windows but when I am asked to choose the Qt version, I only find 5.9.9 as the oldest version available.
How can I install this old version of Qt and what is the difference between Qt creator and Qt installer ?
Are they downloaded together or I have to download them separately.Thanks,

This is the link I am trying to download Qt 4.8.6 from:
https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer -
The old pre-build binaries can be found here: https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/

Qt is a library, Qt Creator is an IDE (written using Qt) and the Qt installer will install the library and the IDE (optionally). Currently, when using the open source license you'll only get the online installer, i.e. the installer will have a list of Qt versions and downloads only what you want to install.

The installer will download and install Qt Creator (if you want to). Though you don't have to install Qt Creator as other IDEs also work (up to a certain point). I prefer to use Qt Creator, especially when developing on multiple platforms.

Well there is no way to uncheck the checkbox for Qt Creator, so it is always installed.
Still, a different IDE can be used, sure.
