Qt Creator not creating .qrc file or folder

[timmie124]

I'm trying to create a .qrc file for my project using the add new wizard. when I finish all the prompts I get this error

Failed to Write Files
Unable to create the directory C:\Users\Tim's Desk\Documents\SQLiteModule\resources\Error in " Cpp.fileName("C:\Users\Tim's Desk\Documents\SQLiteModule.

QT does create the new empty directory but doesn't add it to the editor nor does it add the .qrc file

Thought maybe my project got messed up somewhere so I decided to try it on a empty project and got the same error. I also tried updating QT as well and got the same issue. how can I fix this or whats the proper work around for this?

Hi
That is the first time i ever heard about that.
Can you try a test project with a res file?

@mrjj just tried the test project and it runs with out an issue.

I think I solved the issue, the problem was this Tim's Desk contained an apostrophe and that's what caused the syntax error in the wizard. I tried to use %USERPROFILE%\Documents\SQLiteModule to get around it but sadly %USERPROFILE% resolves back to Tim's Desk in the wizard so I just ended up moving my project to my the hard drive's root folder and no longer have the problem.
