      My question is if QT comes with a compiler at all. I chose to download "Qt 5.1.0 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.8, OpenGL, 666 MB) " Well seeing that it says MinGW I assume that it comes with a compiler. Inside the program, however, I still have to manually find a compiler to attach. I ask because it's become difficult to manually download the visual studio compiler and SDK. I cannot run the installer for the SDK because I apparently "Don't have Visual C++ redist installed"... then I cannot run the installer for the redist because it tells me I already have it installed ... Anyhow. I'm wondering heavily if my install is completely devoid of a compiler, or if I just simply need to find the compiler lodged somewhere in the files.

      Edit: I forgot to mention that the only "kit" that shows up is the default and it doesn't have a compiler linked to it. That's what takes me to the compiler tab in which there are no defaults. Nothing is automatically detected.

        MSVC packages do not contain the compiler (due to licensing). MinGW packages do have the compiler bundled, and if it does not show up in Qt Creator automatically - you've just found a bug :)

        You can specify the compiler yourself, it should be somewhere in the installation directory (sorry I can't tell you exactly where, but I'm building Qt myself, and usually on Linux, so I don't really know the details).

          Well there are quit a lot of files and folders here. I have no idea where to find it. Do you know the name of it? Is it just MinGW.exe or something like that? Maybe I could just serach it.
