QT windows installation error
-
I installed QT on Windows as per what was said in the instruction, but when I created a QT Widget application I am getting the following error :
Running Windows Runtime device detection. No winrtrunner.exe found. Project ERROR: Cannot run compiler 'cl'. Maybe you forgot to setup the environment?Also, in my Qt creator project directory I cannot see anything apart from my
.profile.
So what should I do to remove this error?Qt installed : 5.9.1
IDE : Qt Creator.In my Qt folder which is installed when I see the Tools folder it just has QtCreator folder and no compiler folder. Is it wrong
-
what Qt ? for visual studio or for mingw?

@Arqam said in QT windows installation error:
No winrtrunner.exe found.
from personal experience I would guess you're running Win 10 and msvc-Compiler 2015 or 2017. right?
you'll need to link against the correct windows sdk package to build successfully.

@J.Hilk We need to link what to correct windows sdk package. I am new to windows, I am trying to change the value of Tools > Options > Kits to MinGW that I installed but its not giving any result.

Did you install visual studio from Microsoft site ?

@mrjj Is it necessary to install visual studio to run the Qt program or can we do with just MinGW ?

@Arqam
Mingw will be just fine.
