Installing Qt5 on the latest online installer

Bonnie

@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.

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 ?

Blackzero

@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

@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

@jsulm
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)

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

Blackzero

@jsulm okay thanks I tried it and it worked.
