You can use Qt WebEngine Widgets instead, obtained from your Qt installer.

I believe Qt WebEngine isn't compatible with MinGW, so it needs MSVC on Windows.

I see from your screenshot that you installed Qt 5.15.1 > MinGW 8.1.0 64-bit. However, you might need to install Qt 5.15.1 > MSVC 2019 64-bit

Also, remember to add the Qt WebEngine Widgets module to your project. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-module.html and https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebenginewidgets-module.html (You must add QT += webengine webenginewidgets to your *.pro file)

@JKSH Hi, thanks for respond quickly

I had already downloaded it since yesterday and in the same way I already checked the documentation and just like that I am doing it but it marks that same error

@Morado Are you sure you're using your MSVC Kit and not MinGW?

Morado · 20 Oct 2020, 15:04

@jsulm

I was assuming that when selecting it once it was already running but it is not selecting it apparently
I can´t select it now

Then check that Kit in "Options..." - it probably has some issues.
Also, did you install Visual Studio with C++?

@jsulm
Mm this?

And options only i get this

Hi,

You need to install Visual Studio. It's not something the Qt installer can do for you as Microsoft forbids that.

@SGaist

I already have Visual Studio installed and still the same thing appears

Which version?

Make sure you select the C++ Build Tools from the Visual Studio installer. This contains the C++ compiler.

Mm this?

No, not this. These are the Redistributable libraries; they are not the Visual Studio IDE and compiler.

Visual Studio is downloadable from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

@JKSH @SGaist @jsulm

I could, thank you all very much, they helped me a lot, the truth is if I was very lost on this topic, install the VS C ++ library as they told me and it worked correctly, thank you very much!

Wow! The lucky you!
What about us, using Python, do we need to install C++ too?

@Andrew-K-Kabaghe hi and welcome to devnet, if you are thinking about using the Qt WebKit module from Python then you are likely out of luck because that module has not been released with any PySide2 release.

In any case, you should open your own thread about your issue.
