Qt Widget Applications will not compile and run

Hobbs

I just started using Qt, and for some reason whenever I make a Qt Widget Application project, I get this error:

Configuration is faulty. Check the Issues view for details.
Error while building/deploying project TestCppGame (kit: Desktop Qt 5.6.0 MSVC2015 64bit)
When executing step "Make"

However, I do not get any error when running Qt Console Applications. I checked the kit setup and it is the same for both. I am using Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 12.0 and CMake3.6

What can you see in "Compile Output" and "Issues" tabs in QtCreator?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Visual C++ Compiler 12.0 comes from Visual Studio 2013. You installed Qt for Visual Studio 2015 so you have two solutions:

Install Visual Studio 2015
Install Qt for Visual Studio 2013

On Windows you can't mix and match compilers, they are not compatible one with the other. Nothing Qt specific.
