How to select a 64 bit Debugger in the kit settings

neo_qt

I have just installed Qt Creator and I am running a very simple GUI. I have MSVC2017 Professional and MSVC2019 Community installed.
My simple GUI is running with MSVC2019 but when trying to run the debug mode. I have the following error message.

SimpleGUI.exe is a 64 bit executable which can not be debugged by a 32 bit Debugger.
Please select a 64 bit Debugger in the kit settings for this kit.

I don't know how to set the debugger, here is the capture screen of the auto-detected Debuggers.

Hi,

You can update your x64 Kit to use the correct version of the debugger.

Sorry after looking to the documentation, I found that I need to install the Debugging Tools for windows. I will try it.

EDIT : After installing the Debugging Tools, what should I do in order to use it ? My kits settings did not change.

@SGaist Thank you very much. I was stuck in the Tools>Options>Kits>Debuggers tab. I was able to update the kits and debugger from Tools>Options>Kits>Kits tab.
