When I already installed Qt, I discovery I installed in wrong drive because C:\ not many space left.How can I move Qt to another drive?I don't want to uninstall and install.

You don't mention whether it is the commercial or OS version. Native or running under cygwin?
If it were me, I'd uninstall and then reinstall where it is suppose to go.

Hi @BenCheung0422,
I'd go wiht re-install also.
The libraries (at least
qtcore
) are patched during install to contain the installation path, so it might or might not work.But after all, you are free to try it.
Regards

You should reinstall Qt to make sure everything works correctly. Some of the Qt tools - especially qmake - have the installation path baked in. They will not work right away when copied to a different directory. I believe there is a way to fix the paths. However, I cannot remember and I don't know which tools need fixing. To be safe: reinstall Qt in the proper location. It's way easier.
