Solved All settings are gone after updating Qt Creator!
-
Hey guys!
I encounter with a problem after updating Qt Creator from 4.12.2 to 4.12.4!
All of settings including Qt version and kits are gone by now!
I also deleted Qt Creator 4.12.2 and I don't have access it anymore.
Is there a way to automatically setup all of kits and Qt version instead of doing manually?
I tried to use Link wit Qt option on Qt Versions tab but the Link with Qt option is grayed out since it tells can't fine Qt installation information!
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks ahead of time! -

- How did you update? Did you use the MaintenanceTool?
- What is the absolute path to your Qt Creator 4.12.2 before the update? What is the absolute path to your Qt Creator 4.12.4?
- You said "I also deleted Qt Creator 4.12.2 ". How did you delete it?

@JKSH Thank you so much!

No, I downloaded latest version from here:
http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/4.12/4.12.4/ -
My Qt Creator 4.12.2 path was here:
E:\Softwares\Qt\Tools -
I deleted its folder by hand and then install Qt Creator 4.12.4 in same exact location as 4.12.2.
Right now 4.12.4 can't find anything about Qt Versions and kits!

Important: That installer only contains the Qt Creator IDE. It does not contain Qt libraries.
If you use the online installer at http://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/ it will install both the Qt Creator IDE and Qt libraries. You can also use it to update your installation in the future without deleting anything by hand.

OK.
Do you know where and how you installed the Qt libraries before?
- I deleted its folder by hand and then install Qt Creator 4.12.4 in same exact location as 4.12.2.
Is it possible that you accidentally deleted the Qt libraries also?
In the future, it is best to use the uninstaller instead of deleting by hand.
Right now 4.12.4 can't find anything about Qt Versions and kits!
Basically, "kit" = "Qt library" + "compiler".
You can manually configure the kit components:
- Add a compiler: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-tool-chains.html
- Add a version of the Qt library: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-qmake.html
- Add a kit: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-targets.html
- No, I downloaded latest version from here:

@JKSH Thank you so much!
I should go with maintenance tool rather than deleting things by hand!
The problem is solved.
