Can't install Qt on Windows.
-
Installing process doesn't support spaces in path? Really? I mean this is just horrible bug/feature - why should I create folder outside Program files? Can someone help me with installing Qt in Program Files?

That's not normal, you're right.
Try this path : "C:\Progra~1\Qt", it should work...[/quote]Now error with symbol "~", but thanks.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
As a general rule of thumb when building on windows, avoid spaces in paths. It simplify things a lot.

Hi,
[quote author="GreyZ0mbie" date="1382886820"]Installing process doesn't support spaces in path? Really?[/quote]Yes, really. Because compilation tools have lots of issues with libraries that live in paths with spaces (e.g. see "this":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5999507/mingw-make-cant-handle-spaces-in-path and "this":http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/sumo/index.php?title=Installing/Windows_Build). The Qt installer is saving you the pain of discovering this yourself at a later stage.
If you'd like better space support, please submit feature requests to the organizations that create these compilation tools, like Microsoft, MinGW.org, etc. Once those are taken care of, Qt (and other libraries) can be happily installed in C:\Program Files.
