How to manually set Visual C++ compiler in Qt Creator?

Re: How to manually set Visual C++ compiler in Qt Creator?
I must be doing something wrong, but I have spend all day trying to get QT to work. I have re-installed it at least 5 times, yet it fails to find my Visual Studio 2015 installation/compiler.
I've looked at suggested page: http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-targets.html, but it does not provide any help regarding VS 20xx compiler.
Google search mostly shows result for using VS instead of QT - that's not what I want.This is my setup/sequence:
Installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional,
Installed QT 5.6.2 MSVC2015 64bit
(Tried 5.9.1 msvc2015_32 and _64 - same situation).In Build & Run:
QT Versions: Auto-detected: Qt 5.6.2 MSVC2015 64bit. With Red exclamation mark.
Compilers: Auto-detect - none.
CMake: Autodetect - none.MY questions:
- How to install so it all works as correctly.
- How to tell QT Creator that there is a VS2015 already installed.
- What file do I need to link as compiler? What is usual location for that file?

Well, as silly as it sounds, the first thing to check is if you actually installed the C++ compiler.
If I remember correctly the VS2015 installer does not have that checkbox selected by default (it only has C#/.Net stuff selected), so check if you can actually create and compile a C++ project in VS. If not, run the VS installer again and make sure to select the C++ components. -
I will reply to my own question.
I do apologize to everyone for being thick/new here.
The problem was with corrupted Visual Studio installation. After re-install, all was corrected, without reinstall of QT Creator.( Hats down to you guys).My next task to setup Android compiler. Back to Google.
Thank you, to everyone, who looked into this.
