Installing Qt5 on the latest online installer

[Blackzero]

Hi, I just bought a new device and tried to install Qt5 but it's not on the online installation list. Is there any way to install Qt5 with the online installer?

I really appreciate all your answers thanks :)

Try another mirror, for example one mentioned in https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource

what do you have selected in the filter?

Latest supported releases should feature the latest Qt5,
if it doesn't check archive and click filter
That will definitely give you Qt5 versions to select from

[Blackzero]

@J-Hilk hmm, like it doesn't exist

[jsulm]

@Blackzero Did you try a different mirror?

@Blackzero Why is it Qt Insight Tracker?

[Blackzero]

@jsulm Yeah right, I'm having issues with mirrors, and running the installer using mirrors.

@Bonnie "Why is it Qt Insight Tracker?"

Probably because the Qt Maintainer is being run in Update mode from an installation containing only Qt Insight Tracker.

[J.Hilk]

I have never seen a maintenance tool /installer that was anything like yours oO

Wth is Qt Inisght Tracker and what is it doing there

try reinstalling ?

@J-Hilk hmm I'm using the latest 4.8.1 online installer, but when I run it it fails to download https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml.mirrorlist and I tried to run it with --mirror, maybe that's the cause why my installer is different, I don't know what other solutions are

[jsulm]

@Blackzero Which mirrors did you try?

[Blackzero]

@jsulm this

MaintenanceTool.exe --mirror https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml.mirrorlist

I also use it when installing.

This is the documentation I read
https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x#Selecting_a_mirror_for_opensource

[jsulm]

@Blackzero The path is wrong. It should be just: https://download.qt.io/

[Blackzero]

@jsulm Is it like this?

MaintenanceTool.exe --mirror https://download.qt.io/

[jsulm]

@Blackzero yes, like this

Too bad the previous problem came back.

Network error while downloading 'https://mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/qt/online/qtsdkrepository/all_os/qt_patchers/690/2024-12-12-0612_meta.7z': Error transferring https://mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/qt/online/qtsdkrepository/all_os/qt_patchers/690/2024-12-12-0612_meta.7z - server replied: Forbidden.

You can select a different mirror for opensource metadata and downloads. The mirror can be set from terminal using option --mirror. Available mirrors can be found from: 
https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml.mirrorlist
Do not use the full path but use the path before '/online' (no forward slash at the end)
