<![CDATA[How to add a submodule after installing with an offline installer?]]>Sorry for a basic question. I'm pretty new to Qt but ended up having to work with an old Qt 5.10.1 project. They removed this version from the latest unified installer. So, I found an archive folder here and downloaded the 'qt-opensource-windows-x86-5.10.1.exe' offline installer.

I think I set up Qt & Qt creator correctly. The problem is I'm not sure how to add the submodule.zip to qt. Unlike the unified installer, submodules are separated from this installer and can be downloaded individually. I thought there might be an easier way to make it recognized by the installer or Qt Maintenance Tool. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The zips and tarballs in "submodules" repository contains source code of individual submodules, no precompiled stuff. You can use them when you are compiling Qt manually from source code.

I thought the submodules should be in a separate category but they were not. They were in the installer. Thank you for your answer!
