    I was hoping to install Qt 5.12.3 for Mac. But running the Qt maintenance tool brings up this error message:

    0_1556017745485_qtinstall1.png

    And then no new Qt versions are displayed:

    0_1556017766796_qtinstall2.png

    I have used the Qt Maintenance Tool on this machine quite a few times before without any issues.

    Any ideas?

      @AndyBrice Try to first update the tool - "Update components".

        @AndyBrice
        did you really install 140gb worth of precompiled Qt?

        I highly doubt you need all those version

            @J.Hilk I do need a few different versions as I have 2 Qt based products and have had a number of issues with recent Qt releases on Mac. I probably don't need all the Android and other stuff that comes bundled as standard though.

              @AndyBrice said in "Cannot find missing dependency" using Qt Maintenance Tool on macOS 10.13:

              bundled as standard though

              They are not. You simply should not select the whole Qt version, but expand the tree under the version you want to install and only select what you really need.
