      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      You need to first install Visual Studio 2012 before you can use this version of Qt.

      Or install the VS2010 package (if I saw correctly you have Visual Studio 2010 installed)

      If I was wrong, I would recommend then to install the mingw package which comes with the compiler and everything ready to start.

          MSVC version have to be aligned. None of the msvc version is compatible with another!
          The same is partly true for MinGW. There are some breaks in compatibility between versions.

          Vote the answer(s) that helped you to solve your issue(s)

            Now i get another error trying to use "qextserialport.h" and its caused by this compile settings ...
            is there any way or tutorial for Mingw working on Qt Win7 64 bits ?

              The only tutorial you should need (if you have a clean system) is: install, run Qt Creator and have fun.

              What is the error you have with qextserialport ?

                By the way, why use qextserialport ? You have QSerialPort already included now in Qt
