• P.S.: Don't the qt programmers intervene?? Don't they offer any kind of assistance????

This is a user driven forum and the developers do not monitor it.
Paying customers can request direct support from the company.

I think there is something wrong with your pc.
I never saw anything like "Plugin initialization failed" from the many times i have installed Qt.
Nor has that error been shown here in forum.

For test, you can try
https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.8/5.8.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw530-5.8.0.exe
if that fails to install and just work, your ram is damaged or the disk or virus scanner is malfunctioning.

Note its mingw compiler and u seem to want to use visual studio but its just for test as its all in one packet and
so far i never had a singe issue with it. So would be good test to see if that just works or fails.

@mrjj Alright, memory diagnostics were fine, HHD are just fine, frankly speaking, the disks are in great condition, the HHD@5400rpm was literally unused. Antivirus has been disactivated. I am not arrogant, but I deny to install x86_5.8.0.exe because I consider it as intelligence belittlement and devaluation. If you have any further ideas, please, let me know. Thank you all!

@GeorgeV
Ok good. so we ruled out memory corruption while saving
or bad sectors on the drive.

There is no direct link to vs21017 Qt 5.9 ( i could see) so if u deny to test with the other (5.8), i have no further ideas to check if it's the online installer doing something odd or what is going on.

Since pc can download and install all of visual studio 2017, i assume
nothing wrong with net as you would have seen corruption too there.

So as i see it, it must be the online installer acting up. ( normally it can be scanner running while downloading/installing ,
but you have this disabled (i hope))

So im out of ideas for this unique error.

@mrjj thanx. It is alright. Thanx anyway! Look, when cool, I will try your proposition. But I feel that there is going to be no success. Atmel studio, vs, comodo, all progs work fine, not even a single bit of failure during installation.

Just a qt talent less in this vain world!!!

[mrjj]

Well comodo (also seen Avast do it) can block stuff for the installer but it sounds like you also tested without it running.
So I guess its not the normal block case. ( then later files are missing)
I could only find the plugin error mentioned here
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-10049

And i checked my installation.
Its not even enabled pr default..

[A Former User]

@mrjj Alright, I have deactivated Comodo, I also unblocked some uuuuh, some qt files that Comodo had blocked, I performed the installation you suggested, the installation had no issues and everything went well, I launched the software and there were no warnigs or undesired messages, then I created an empty project (qt tutorials) with a c++ main.cpp, and of course, no success. There is the following message

[mrjj]

And just to be very sure that D:\V A R I O U S\ is not an issue you
tried with a path that has no spaces ?
The " Could not create directory " sounds like it so
please try without spaces.

No, it persistently denies. My pc is an ASUS KL-something, 2 core@2.4GHz, RAM 12gb@1600MHz and carries 940M video card. Except the video card which is not quite satisfying ( I actually never play games), all other stuff is great. It runs VS really fine and the online pc tests had been really good. A machine above the average $650 computers.

Anyway, do not bother any further. Thank you for being responsive and helpful so far. Thanx!

[mrjj]

Hmm seems to end in same error " is not a function"
I assume that C:\Users\George_38\Documents\ is writable for the login user ?
Its your user profile?. Same as the login one.
Except a few chinese sites , google didn't find anything by your post of error "Util.asciify("build-untitled-Desktop.."
Very odd :)

I did find
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-59509
where is says
"Please go to Preferences > Build & Run > General and click "reset" behind "Default build directory". Looks like this is an incompatibility when using Qt Creator 4.3 without having used Qt Creator 4.2 before, and then going to Qt Creator 4.2 instead."
But I guess it dont apply to your case.

Is there any possibility for any kind of log write, or any register that does not clean when pc shuts down, or any kind of data to have remained somewhere (for instance, some cache) even though formatting a disk or shutting pc down?? What if I remove the battery of the laptop (which is a really hard job to do)????

What do you mean? What log do you need and for what?
A log cannot survive formatting the partition where it is stored - how could it?

[mrjj]

@GeorgeV
If you mean any traces of Qt, then no.
Creator keeps some stuff in appdata but formatting the drive will remove that.

[A Former User]

@mrjj Ok, this step seem to have worked. I installed UWP 64bit and the stand-alone version <msvc2017 64-bit (I think that this is 5.8 version)> did work again. I cannot tell if it is indeed working correctly. This is something to see in the mid-term. Thanx!

It seems this issue has come back (we're now 2019). It occurred to me several times. Restarting QtCreator works for me (terrible solution!)
