    about the Visual Studio thing I also tried using the Qt extension in Visual Studio but when I tried to create a new Qt Widget Application it shows this

    @Daemonitas Since I'm the maintainer of the CMake bits in Qt Creator I can't say much about the Visual Studio Qt plugin. A different colleague is responsible.

    Since the Visual Studio experiment from a few posts passed the ABI check, it means that at least that generator works.

    If you modify the generator to "Visual Studio" in the Qt 6.5.0 MSVC Kit like this:

    visual-studio-generator-cmake.png

    You should be able to to finally compile your application.

        Since you have changed the generator in the Kit you would have to click in the Project settings on the "Re-configure with Initial Parameters" or just create a new project using this Kit.

        The new project will get the right generator and should configure just fine 🙂

          it enables the build and run button but at the same time it can't build when i'm using the minGw kit but when I use the MSVC kit it shows a ton of errors

            A MSVC Kit works with these generators:

            • Ninja
            • Visual Studio 17 2022
            • NMake Makefiles
            • NMake Makefiles - JOM

            The MinGW Kit would work with these generators:

            • Ninja
            • MinGW Makefiles

            You can't have a MinGW Kit working with a Visual Studio generator.

            There is something broken on your PC. I'm running out of ideas.

              @cristian-adam
              for the msvc kit it seems the error to be in just one line
              " <Exec Command="%(PreBuildEvent.Command)$(_BuildSuffix)" StdOutEncoding="%(PreBuildEvent.StdOutEncoding)" StdErrEncoding="%(PreBuildEvent.StdErrEncoding)" Condition="'%(PreBuildEvent.Command)' != ''"/>"

              If nothing works Ig I cant use Qt then

              Edit:
              i tried changing the generator to MinGW Makefiles in the MinGw kit and get this error

                You should check your global PATH environment variable.

                At https://github.com/isl-org/Open3D/issues/2316 it's being mentioned:

                Error MSB3073 is generally caused by an incorrect path in the command line

                You can type in Qt Creator in the Locator field (press Ctrl+K):

                ! cmd /c set PATH
                

                In the General Messages pane you should get the output. Maybe you can paste it here.

                This could explain why so many command line tools are broken.

                  On this Arm64 Laptop I have something like:

                  Starting command "cmd /c set PATH".
                  Path=C:\Projects\github\vcpkg;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Users\Cristian\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311-arm64\Scripts\;C:\Users\Cristian\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311-arm64\;C:\Users\Cristian\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Users\Cristian\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Links;c:\Tools\cmake\bin;c:\Tools\ninja;c:\Tools\ccache;;C:\Users\Cristian\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin;C:\Users\Cristian\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\Microsoft.Sysinternals.ProcessExplorer_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe;

                  The command "cmd /c set PATH" finished successfully.
                  

                  And for me all the things just work. Qt 6.5.0 with MSVC and MinGW.

                          QMake sometimes is simpler than CMake for simple applications.

                          Qt is the best C++ framework I've ever met.

                              @Daemonitas Can you compile anything with the compiler CMake found?
                              Can you please try it with the hello word code?

                              <the full path I highlighted>  hello.cpp -o hello

                                    well clearly it works
                                    perhaps the problem is actually my laptop itself
                                    but what causes this in the first place

                                      @Daemonitas Did you run it as below?

                                      "C:Qt/Tools/mingw120_64/bin/c++.exe"  hello.cpp -o hello

                                          There is something wrong with your Windows installation / laptop.

                                          The compilers themselves seem to work, but not the build programs (ninja, mingw32-make, msbuild, jom).

                                          The antivirus is not the issue. I can think of two issues:

                                          1. some sort of a disk failure
                                          2. some user rights access issues

                                          You can get yourself a Windows Virtual Machine from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/

                                          That is if the laptop is powerful enough to run a VM.
