<![CDATA[Still possible to install Qt 5.8 and earlier via the online installer?]]>It was recently possible for me to install older versions of Qt using the Qt online installer, but now it seems all versions older than 5.9 have been removed. It is still possible to install those via the online installer?

it seems all versions older than 5.9 have been removed.

Versions that have reached end-of-life (EoL) have been removed from the online installer.

  • Qt 5.8 reached EoL in January 2018.
  • Qt 5.10 reached EoL in October 2018.

Qt 5.9 is a Long-Term Support version; it will be supported until May 2020 (https://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/06/07/renewed-qt-support-services/ )

Please use an offline installer to install EoL versions.

Start the maintenance tool then check the Archive package category and hit refresh, you'll have older Qt version available.
