I get this:
But its not telling me anything about how to fix it. Does the MSVC toolchain not have a valid C/C++ compiler in it? If not, where do I get one from for Windows (I a linux developer, not sure I'm enjoying the windows development world!)

Look at this configuration and see if the paths are correct would be a start.

Some posts I'm finding suggest that CMake needs to be run from a 'Visual Studio Command Prompt'. But I don't have VS installed, just the toolchain components from the VS Installer app. I do have VS Code installed, but that doesn't have the option of a 'Command Prompt'.
I have spent way too much time on trying to get a simple QT 'Hello World' app running here :o(

Qt Creator will use the
vcvars*.batfiles to determine the environment for the Visual C++ compiler. Running thesevcvars*.batfiles takes time and therefore they are done asynchronously.Unfortunately Microsoft is doing updates pretty often and Qt Creator sometimes needs a little "push" to get things right. In Preferences > Kits > Compilers do the following:
- Click on Remove All
- Click on Re-detect
- Restart Qt Creator and wait a few minutes until the detection has been done.
Alternatively you can install the free compiler option (MinGW) which doesn't have this issue.
