Put the mouse cursor over the warning icon - you should see a popup with the warning. What does it say?
Does your project build and run?

BILAL KHAN 34

@jsulm no project does not build and run.

@BILAL-KHAN-34 So, what do you see in "Projects->Build"?

@BILAL-KHAN-34 did you install the mcvc compiler and other necessary c++ tools via the visual studio installer ?

3rd Parties, like the QtCompany, are not allowed to distribute it themself. It has to go through Microsoft.

@jsulm its just disabled.

It looks like you updated your Visual C++ installation and the paths to the compilers are no longer valid.

(exit code 0) with the following output:
no such file or directory

I usually do the following:

Go to Qt Creator > Preferences > Kits > Compilers
Click on Remove All
Click on Re-detect
Restart Qt Creator

Then reconfigure my project with a clean build, or having clicked on Clear CMake Configuration.

Thanks to everyone the problem has solved and all is done. First I was thinking that downloading the msvc from qt maintanance tool is enogh but it was not. I have to download the microsoft visual studio and set it up for qt.
