Qt build file not being updated
-
I am trying to build a Qt project. It is telling me "The process failed to start. Either the invoked program "U:\directory_name\projectname.exe" is missing, or you may have insufficient permissions to invoke the program."
I am very certain I see a file in U:\directory_name\projectname.exe. I am entirely unsure how to proceed.I have had issues before regarding being unable to update the build file when building the project, as well issues on building the project being very slow, if that helps. (Again, entirely unsure on what would help and what wouldn't.) My CPU is a i7-8565U, with 16GB RAM, and my GPU is an Intel UHD Graphics 620 and a AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100. The following is my build settings.
The following are my run settings.

Please start
U:\directory_name\projectname.exefrom a command line and post the output. -
Hi,
Beside the good suggestion of @Axel-Spoerl, do you have an antivirus running ? Some of them block or quarantine immediately executable files that are created at runtime.
-
One more thought: Are you running Qt Creator with administrative rights? Even if it is the same user (just with admin privileges) it will not know the network drive (assuming U:\ is on the network).
-
I notice you're not using a shadow build -- I'd encourage you to start doing so.
Also, on Windows, you might get this error if an instance of the application is already running (or hasn't fully shut down). Somewhere in Creator there's an option to ensure that a running program is quit before a new build/run is attempted.
