Solved MsVC Question
-
Hi all, just a quickie. I have installed both brand new Qt 5.9 and Visual Studio just yesterday. When I installed Qt, I didn't select MinGW but it seems to have installed anyway. Both IDE's are working fine, Qt has picked up the VS compiler. My confusion is the number of Kits and Compilers and the 40 entries in my Win 10 Main Menu! Do you recommend removal of any of these, or leave well alone?

Hi
If you do not need mingw, just run the maintenance.exe tool in the Qt folder and de-select it/all
but the kits you need. ( Qt visual studio for desktop )
There is no reason to have WINRT Qt if you only use desktop and so on.
Not that it will do any harm, but it wont be any benefit at all. -
@mrjj That's good enough. Thanks.
PS. Oops nearly forgot. Fix the Online Installer!

@mrjj So that it actually works! :) I tried it about a dozen times and it failed each time - here anyway. Then I looked it up and found this this https://forum.qt.io/topic/35768/public-service-announcement-2013-12-21-qt-download-mirror-system-is-partially-broken ... and I downloaded as per the instructions.
And now that I have discovered wget for Windows, an actual URL to the latest tip would be good too.

It failed with timeout during download or ?Why you want to download with wget when you can just use browser ?

(well you can use wget too :) -
@mrjj Network error. Cheers, I've used the online.installer previously.

@Ian-Bray
Ah Ok, where in the world are you ? -
@mrjj Ireland :) confirm wget working now.

@Ian-Bray
Ok :) that is not super excotic so normally that works.
You could try using other mirror
