    Re: "No valid kits found." WTF does it want now?
    I am using QT Creator 4.2.0 on Windows 10. I CANNOT move up to QT 5, because I need to match my Linux system which does not support QT5 (CentOS 6.6 on an IBM mainframe which does not support a CentOS upgrade). SO I need to get some details on what libraries to install and where to get them, so I can have a valid kit.

      Hi
      No Valid kit means the Creator didnt see a compiler that it could use.
      Did you try
      https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.2/
      qt-win-opensource-4.2.0-mingw.exe ?

        Hi,

        To add to @mrjj, what exact version of Qt did you install on your Win10 machine ?

            Ok in that case ,
            you need to build all of Qt with VS 2013 or 15.
            There is no official installer for such old Qt version and very new-ish compiler.
            At least i didn't see it.
            So something like
            http://www.holoborodko.com/pavel/2011/02/01/how-to-compile-qt-4-7-with-visual-studio-2010/
            Note its VS 2010 and not 13/15 so mind the paths!

            After you compiled Qt. Then add as kit
            http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-targets.html

              is there a possibility of using MinGW to avoid rebuilding?

                Yes the
                https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.2/
                qt-win-opensource-4.2.0-mingw.exe ?
                should contain all that is needed.
