Qt Creator should auto detect the compiler for you. However what usually happens is that people install Visual Studio without checking the C++ option during installation thus they have a VS environment but nothing to build C++ code.
You should first check that.
Note that you also need to install the debugger separately. The one coming with VS is "internal" and cannot be used by other applications.
Looks like your connection to Qt Forum was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
