    I am trying to move from my simple QML files to a windows .exe that I can pass on to management for review. I installed the Visual Studio add-in but it looks like it wants to open a .pro file. All I have is .qml and .qmlproject. Could someone point me in the right direction of what needs done?

      Is Qmlviewer the right tool?

        You can write small wrapper (I think Creator already can do it automatically, but not sure) for showing qml.

          If you could provide me with some more details of how exactly to get from the .qml files to a usable .exe, that would be helpful. Thanks,

          Kyle

            something like (not tested, just coded here in reply form)
            @
            int main (int argc, char **argv)
            {
            QApplication app(argc,argv);
            QDeclarativeView view("/path/to/your/Example.qml");
            view.setResizeMode(QDeclarativeView::SizeRootObjectToView);
            view.resize(500,500); //this and prev lines are needed only if you don't have sizes in root element of your qml
            view.show();
            return app.exec();
            }
            @

                I don't think that compiler can be problem here. Just make sure you have all needed in your env variables.

                  Where can I download all the environment variables? While I tried to compile, I got a QApplication undeclared error.

                    you have to include them. Sorry I forgot them.

                    @
                    #include <QApplication>
                    #include <QDeclarativeView>
                    @

                    Also don't forget to add gui and declarative to QT var in your .pro file.

                      Please excuse my ignorance but you will have to explain the last sentence you wrote. I do not have a .pro file, do I need one?

                        Yes, you need a .pro file.

                          Again, forgive my beginner questions but how do I create one? What is it?

                            Save code I wrote you before as main.cpp and run in folder with it
                            @
                            qmake -project
                            @

                            It will create a .pro file. Open it and find QT var. I think it will contain only
                            @
                            QT += core gui
                            @
                            make it
                            @
                            QT += core gui declarative
                            @

                            After it run qmake in this folder with name of .pro file as argument. And after it run make (or nmake, if you are using msvc compiler).

                              I did every step up until the make command which returned:
                              make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

                                @
                                qmake yourproject.pro

                                  the command executes without an error, but I don't see a makefile

                                        so you run in this folder
                                        @
                                        qmake QML.pro
                                        @
                                        and nothing new appears?
                                        If yes then sorry, but I can't help with problem. Maybe some one more familiar with windows can.

                                          Try to open this .pro in QtCreator and build it there. I think it will help you.
