Please help us to help you - provide more information.
What exactly are you trying to build - your app with the lib or the lib?
Is it a QMake or CMake project?
Did you run qmake or cmake?

My previous project which is compiled by msvc 2019 64 bit compiler is not working now.

What does this mean? Qt6 can be compiled & used with MSVC2019

@Christian-Ehrlicher what i mean is I.m using Qt 5.15.2 version. Not working on 6.x.. My previous Qt creator is 10.0.2.Current version is 11.0.3.In current version, MINGW compiler is working. But, the msvc compiler even after downloaded in maintenance tool,not working.How to set it?

You do not download the MSVC compiler with the Qt maintainance tool. You have to install it separately.
And Qt5 is also compatible with MSVC2019/2022.

@Christian-Ehrlicher But,in previous versions like creator 10.0.2,i have downloaded from the maintainance tool itslef.Why couldn't I do here? If I download externally,How to properly set the build steps to configure the project.

@Vijaykarthikeyan
Qt Creator is not to do with downloading anything.
Neither it nor Qt nor the Maintenance Tool has ever come with MSVC (as opposed to MinGW) compiler.

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@JonB This is the current maintainance tool for 11.0.3

But,in previous version 10,i have not downloaded from externally and not configured the build steps automatically.
Now,If I want to download externally,what are the build steps to correctly configure the project

What does this mean? I don't understand what 'downloaded from externally' means... as you can see you already have downloaded Qt for MSVC 32/64 bit and for MinGW 64 already so what else do you want to download with the maintainance tool?

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@Christian-Ehrlicher Yes I have..but,in previous versions,Qt automatically configure the build steps for the project.But now in 11.0.3,I have to do manually..How to configure the project correctly.

This is the problem What I'm facing right now..
I don't know how to configure.Please help me to sort it out.thanks in advance

The error message clearly tells you "The kit 'Desktop Qt 5.15.2 MSVC2019 64bit' has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem." - so fix the kit settings.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I uninstalled those msvc compilers and reinstalled again..now it is working corrrectly
