    Hello everyone,
    I'm a teacher in an engineering school and students are working with Qt creator to make some development projects.
    I've two students who have some issues with QtCreator. Their projects can't be opened correctly.
    Kits selection seems disabled. In options, it says that qmake can't be found or is not executable.
    I've tried on both computers to launch manually qmake (without options) and it seems to be executable.
    When showing logs, I see the following output :

    The Qt Creator version is 7.0.2. Various Qt Kits and compilers were tried without success (64 bits architecture).
    One example of failing kit is 5.15.2 with MSVC 2019 64 bits compiler.
    Has anyone an idea on how to fix this issue ?

      On Windows one thing that can stop processes (or delay them) from running is the antivirus.

      Starting with Qt Creator 6 (if I remember correctly) the process launching is done via qtcreator_processlauncher.exe which makes things faster on ... Linux.

      But you can go back to having the processes started by Qt Creator itself by having the environment variable QTC_USE_QPROCESS set to 1 before starting Qt Creator.

        @Patisson can you try to find qtcreator_processlauncher.exe on your installation and check it can be manually started from a terminal?
