Configuration is faulty. Check the Issues view for details. Error while building/deploying project dashboard (kit: Desktop Qt 5.5.0 MSVC2013 64bit)

No, I'm not saying anything like that.
What I am saying is that you can't use a Visual Studio 2013 built library with Visual Studio 2015. Whether you are using an Express Edition or a Professional Edition doesn't mater, the compiler is the same.
Installing Qt + MinGW is easy: take the online installer, select Qt for MinGW plus the MinGW compiler that is also provided. And that's all, everything is provided. There's no need to download or install an other version of MinGW.
By the way it's Qt, QT stands for Apple QuickTime.

I have had some confusion with MiniGW and Qt. Does this look like the correct link? https://wiki.qt.io/MinGW-64-bit Once I install it, will Qt automatically see it?
Thank you so very much

Like I already wrote: you don't need any external download of MinGW. The installer provides the correct version, install that one, that's all.
-
I remember that it took a long time to download Qt. Where is the MiniGw installer that Qt downloaded?
-
In the Qt Maintenance Tool, Add components, under Tool, it shows a number of version of the MiniGW tool. I chose the most recent one, 4.9xxx. Is this the kind of thing you have been telling me to do? Or is there some other way, by opening up Qt Creator (Community) Thank you again very much SE

Hi @selster,

Yes, that will install the MinGW compiler that you need. Make sure Qt Creator is not running when you install that. Once the MinGW compiler is installed, Qt Creator will automatically see it.
If you haven't already, you also need to install Qt 5.5.1 for MinGW.
To recap, you need 3 components to develop apps with Qt:
- The Qt Creator IDE (latest version 3.5.1)
- The Qt libraries (latest version 5.5.1)
- A compiler that is compatible with your Qt libraries
The Qt Maintenance Tool is a helper program that lets you select and download these components.
-
In the Qt Maintenance Tool, I have
- Qt Creator 3.5.1
- I can check and download Qt 5.5.1
- But I don't know what or where is a compiler? What's it called?

MinGW 4.9.2. It is available under "Tools", as you found in an earlier post.
Note: A compiler is a tool which converts your source code into a program.

Make sure you select and download Qt 5.5.1 for MinGW. Qt 5.5.1 for MSVC (Visual Studio) will not work with your MinGW compiler.

I can now build and run some example project !!! However, if I try to run the example "fancybrowser", I get build errors like:
Warnings while parsing QML type information of C:/Qt/5.5/mingw492_32/qml/QtPositioning:
C:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\qml\QtPositioning\plugins.qmltypes:1:24: Reading only version 1.1 parts.
C:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\qml\QtPositioning\plugins.qmltypes:10:5: Expected only Component and ModuleApi object definitions. -
other projects such as texteditor and clocks build and run, even thought they have similar warnings?

Great!
However, if I try to run the example "fancybrowser", I get build errors like:
Warnings while parsing QML type information of C:/Qt/5.5/mingw492_32/qml/QtPositioning:
C:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\qml\QtPositioning\plugins.qmltypes:1:24: Reading only version 1.1 parts.
C:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\qml\QtPositioning\plugins.qmltypes:10:5: Expected only Component and ModuleApi object definitions.I recommend you start with simpler examples. The browser is quite complex; I don't fully understand it myself so I can't help you with those warning messages.
