Why 'qtcreator.7z' has no 'sdktool' included?

Dmitry.Sokolov

There is
https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/4.12/4.12.4/installer_source/windows_msvc2017_x64/qtcreator.7z
that has no 'sdktool.exe' included.

But
https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/4.12/4.12.4/qt-creator-opensource-windows-x86_64-4.12.4.exe
has.

Is it a bug or what?

The first link is the source code of Qt Creator's installer. It does not contain binaries, you have to compile them yourself, and use QtIFW binaries to create the installer.

The second link contains prebuilt installer of Qt Creator.

It is not a bug, as far as I can see (but I've only glanced at it, I may be wrong).

Do you ever look at that archive?

The content is:

bin
    clang
    plugins
    qml
    AdvancedDockingSystem4.dll
    Aggregation4.dll
    buildoutputparser.exe
    changelog.jom.txt
    clangbackend.exe
    clangpchmanagerbackend.exe
    clangrefactoringbackend.exe
    Clangsupport4.dll
    cpaster.exe
    ...
lib
share

Indeed, you're right and I apologize. I assumed it works much like Qt archives. So, I don't know the answer and don't quite know what's the point of these archives :-D If a file is missing there, though, you can notify Qt devs via Qt bugtracker https://bugreports.qt.io

OK, thank you!
