Error creating project or loading project

Alfie Anil

Hello everyone, I'm having problems when creating and loading projects in qt. When I create projects in qt, I get only the .pro file.
When I load a project It only loads the .pro files. and I get this error when loading projects:

2020-10-16T12:35:58 Clang Code Model: Error: The clangbackend executable "A:\NewQt\qt\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\clangbackend.exe" could not be started (timeout after 10000ms).
Error while parsing file A:\Mobile App\Prototype1\Prototype1.pro. Giving up.
Project ERROR: msvc-version.conf loaded but QMAKE_MSC_VER isn't set

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Isn't A: a floppy disk on your PC?!

Yes it is internal HDD. @JonB

This is unusual as internal drives start with C.
But I don't think this is the cause of your problem, just unusual

@jsulm Yeah I understand. I have two HDD's. My main one is C: but my secondary one is called A:.
If your wondering the reason why I didn't save it in my C: is that I didn't have any space on there so I had to save it onto A.
I have actually got this problem a couple of times before, and I usually have to uninstall and reinstall. But I'm seeing if there's a more 'practical solution'.

@Alfie-Anil Did you check your Kit in QtCreator? Are there any warnings/errors?

QMAKE_MSC_VER

Hi this suggests you are using Visual Studio Qt version.
Did you also install the compiler from microsoft site ?

Hey everyone thanks for the help. I managed to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling mingw64 using the maintenance tool.
Thanks again
