Unable to find MSVS2017 compilers

[jsulm]

@M-Shajeeh-Mustafa cmake doesn't matter. Can you check the compiler on "Compilers" tab?

[OlivierDuguay]

Have you downloaded the Microsoft Windows 10 SDK ? I had a similar problem on my machine running on Windows 10 and I correct it by downloading and installing the Microsoft Windows 8.1 SDK !!! (I think there's something missing in the version for the Windows 10)

[M Shajeeh Mustafa]

@OlivierDuguay yes i have the windows 10, 8.1 and 7 sdks downloaded and installed in my system. I needed them to access directshow samples and compile them some time ago.
Also, the debugger installed in my QT (shown in debugger tab) is also from the windows 10 sdk
@jsulm I uploaded the compiler screenshot above and myself checked in the tools>options>build and run.
The compilers seem to be installed and working correctly. No issues with that. However if cMake is not a problem do you think the issue is with the compatibility with version 2017 because the compilers listed also correspond to 2015 version (but looks installed and detected automatically)
what if I just start using MinGW. Is there any issues (performance wise) with that or should I continue exploring the options for Microsoft compilers? Any suggestions

Can you just re-try with your project in a path without any space ? i.e. change GUI Tutorialsby GUI_Tutotials

[M Shajeeh Mustafa]

@SGaist same result with GUI_Tutorials
I also created a new project named "Sample" and built. That too resulted in the same error.

The kit Desktop Qt 5.8.0 MSVC2015_64bit has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem.
When executing step "Make"

[SGaist]

Don't you have any red or yellow warning sign on the kit page ?

[M Shajeeh Mustafa]

@SGaist yes actually I have both red as well as yellow
as here

[jsulm]

@M-Shajeeh-Mustafa And what do you see if you position the mouse cursor over that warnings?

[M Shajeeh Mustafa]

@jsulm Actually I knew you would say exactly the same that's why I have already placed my cursor over my default kit (the yellow one with QT 5.8.0 MSVS 2015). The yellow box shown in the picture above is actually the output when I placed my cursor above that kit. And It shows everything perfectly fine except the CMake configuration. Which it says is un-configured.

[OlivierDuguay]

The Unconfigured C-Make is not a problem ! it is the same in my configuration but I'm able to use it anyway... Maybe if you take a screenshot of your configuration we could more easily find a solution to the problem... I remember having this sort of problem at the beginning, but I do not remember what I did to solve it.

[M Shajeeh Mustafa]

@OlivierDuguay Is this the required configuration you are asking?

If not, then how to access the configuration?
