    project type: cmake
    compiler: msvc 2013

    after successful build (with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug in parameters of cmake window)
    Im trying to start debug
    and got the message:
    Internal error: Cannot start process C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Debuggers\x86\cdb.exe: Could not start process: Invalid directory name

    debugger does exist in specified folder.

    How to solve this issue?

      please close the topic,
      the settings of working dirrectory was incorrect, and debugger could not find the executable

        Edit your title and add [SOLVED] at the beginning. Too bad adding the solved tag doesn't do this automatically.

        Check out my third course in the trilogy on Qt

          @amigo421 said in [SOLVED] QT Creator doesn't start the debugger:
          I would raise it as a bug - the message should be more precise, e.g. "working directory is invalid." The current message is very confusing so I had to google the issue to figure out that working dir is wrong.
