I installed Qt VS Tools extension for MS Visual Studio 2019, v2.7.1. Install worked and I have the Qt VS Tools menu under Extensions. I click Qt Versions and select the qmake.exe under my Qt installation's mscv2017_64 folder. I click OK and get no errors, but when I go back to the setting again, it is empty. This bug is repeatable. Why is it not retaining the setting?

Steps to reproduce:
Open Visual Studio 2019.
Navigate to Extensions → Qt VS Tools → Qt Versions.
Click Add and select qmake.exe from the msvc2017_64 folder of my Qt installation.
Click OK (no error messages appear).
Reopen Qt Versions—the list is empty again.
Troubleshooting attempted:
Restarted Visual Studio after adding the Qt version.
Ran Visual Studio as Administrator.
Checked the registry entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0\QtProject but found no Qt versions listed.
Tried reinstalling the Qt VS Tools extension.
Verified that my Qt installation is working by running qmake --version in the command prompt.
