Error while building/deploying project test (kit: Desktop Qt 5.8.0 MSVC2015_64bit) When executing step "qmake"

Gramsci

Hello,
I am getting this error and i dont know how to fix it.
I saw that one way to fix it is to use the online installer, but i can't because it always gets stcuk at 99%.
Can anyone help please?
My operating sistem is Windows 7 64-Bit.

It seems that it dont detect vs2005.

When you downloaded visual studio and ran installer. ( from microsoft site)
Are you 100% sure u check on the c++ part ?
Also, can you start visual studio IDE and check it it seems happy for c++ ?

@mrjj I haven't even installed visual studio.
Thanks!

@mrjj Which version should I install?

Ahh, its a classic :)

Just use vs 2015. (2017 also works but not always auto detected)

I didnt test but 2017 should Just work with Qt5.8.

Note. Make sure to say Yes to the c++ part in the installer. For reasons only
known to god, its not ON pr default.

Also, if you not like MUST have vs studio 2015 , then
https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.8/5.8.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw530-5.8.0.exe
includes it all and just works out of the box. Debugger and all.
( and then u can uninstall the Qt vs2015 version and dont have to install vs 2015. ( biiig install)
