    I try to switch from MinGW to MSVC but it is not working?
    Here is the Default kit :
    Default Kit.jpg
    And here is the "New" Visual C++ Kit I tried to build:
    MSVC Kit.jpg
    Trouble is, when I try to make a new Project, I can't select the new Kit:
    Will not allow MSVC Kit.jpg
    I suspect Qt is not happy about the "Missing Qt Version" in the new Kit?

    Any help is appreciated.

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      To use MSVC, you need a Qt version built with that compiler. You can't mix and match C++ libraries built with MinGW and MSVC.

          Qt or MSVC?
          You can download community edition of MSVC from Microsoft (or the build tools).
          Qt can be installed in the usual way: using online installer (or, if you already installed some Qt versions, use the Qt Maintenance Tool to also install Qt for MSVC).
