    Sorry 'bout that. This information should probably be specified when downloading/installing Qt... Hopefully they will do something about it.

    Install MSVC201x version (which one you need)

    (sigh)
    See, this is kinda the problem I'm having when trying to figure this out... What (exactly, with 100% accuracy) is it I need to install? Googling "msvc2012 download" redirects me to "Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio ..." but downloading and installing that does not fix it. Neither does downloading "Visual C++ Compiler" of any version.

    Hi, welcome to devnet

    Thanks!

    ... so you do need to install Visual Studio. A free Express (for VS2012) or Community (VS2013) edition will suffice. Also when installing it choose non-standard installation and deselect anything you don't need.

    Aha! This is crucial information. For new developers, this is far from obvious. Installed Visual Studio 2013 and now its working, thanks :)

    I won't mix, this is hard enough as it is (thats what she said)

    Cheers
