      look for that file in your machine, and make its location available in the PATH...

        @Pablo-J.-Rogina It ask for more api-ms files so I copy pasted all api-ms files now when I open qtcreator it opens with a dialog namely Plugin Loader Messages which has QmlDesigner selected and in Details says:

        Plugin initialization failed: Cannot create OpenGL context.

          • which OS is that?
          • are you running inside a Virtual Machine?

          Qt has to stay free or it will die.

              Be sure that you have installed the Window's Universal C Runtime Update. The dll file that you mentioned (api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll) comes with the update that I am talking about!
              Hope that solves your issue! :D

              bash-4.4$ [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm - rf /* || echo click
              tag me (like @closx) if you are answering to me, so I can notice :D
