Looking at your compiler call, I see that all includes are relative paths. I'm not sure this is related, but I have seen only absolute paths so far.

Can you try to create a "Plain C++ Application" (in Creator: File -> New File or Project -> Non-Qt Project -> Plain C++ Application) and see if that compiles?

jBesserer

Hello there,

I just did a reinstall of Windows and I did a plain C++ application as you suggested and I get this:

0_1518012599808_errorTestC++.PNG

So nothing really changed, Qt still fails to detect any of the standard visual studio headers and given that i've been working on this for over 2 weeks. I'm starting to be rather irritated (sorry, just venting.)

jBesserer

On a side note, when I installed Visual Studio and Qt, when I tried to run the plain program, it just said 'cannot find 'cl' did you set up your environment?

I might as well ask, is setting up my environment just going in my system environment variables and adding the path to my compiler ?

All I did was add the last two lines.

I'm working on windows 10 also, if that does anything.

That seems to describe you problem more clearly. Adding paths to the environment will probably not help you.

Have you checked QTCREATORBUG-17474?

jBesserer

Am I supposed to run vcvarsall in the cmd, I thought qt just did it when you start compiling. if I was to try it, what would be the syntax for the command?

Here are my settings, I know the error says it has no path for the compiler but that was after I removed the 2 lines from my system environment variables.

jBesserer

Here is what I get when I run the command from the cmd

SGaist

What if you start directly the command line through one of the shortcuts provided with Visual Studio ?

jBesserer

Here you go:

aha_1980

@jBesserer At least you have a hint now what could be the problem...

SGaist

Could be something like described here.

jBesserer

@aha_1980 I would like to share your optimism, but I mostly don't understand anything from the answers to 'fix' this problem. As soon as we go into cmd or system32 related things I lose track of where to go and what to do because I can't conceptualize how to fix it.

jBesserer

@SGaist I already explored that possibility some days ago, but I have the system32 path in my system environment variables

aha_1980

@jBesserer So what happens if you enter reg in a Command Prompt?

Can you show us the contentes of your PATH variable? (as text please).

Sometimes windows has problems traversing the PATH if it contains an invalid directory.

jBesserer

@aha_1980 Here you go.

C:\Python27;C:\PCI Geomatics\Geomatica 2015\exe;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;c:\MATLAB\R2016a\bin;%USERPROFILE%.dnx\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft DNX\Dnvm;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Windows Performance Toolkit;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\

In a different vein, it is okay if Visual Studio installed 2 different versions of the 2015 redist for (x64) ? Could that also cause a conflict?

aha_1980

@jBesserer: Is it correct that you used the "Cross Tools" Command Prompt?

Honestly, I don't know. The only tip I can give you is to debug the vcvars.bat and maybe ask for help in a Visual Studio forum. As the reg command is available for you, it must be something else that disallows your compiler usage.

aha_1980

@jBesserer: I just have another idea.

On http://www.randygaul.net/2016/06/03/faster-vcvars32-bat is a description on how to speed up the vcvars32.bit.

As the essence, he describes the variables that are set by this batch file. Maybe doing it like him gives you a running Visual Studio prompt that can also be used from Creator.

jBesserer

@aha_1980 I used the cross tool because i'm building with the x86_amd64 compiler in Qt...So I assumed that was how to do it. I don't really know.

I'm confused too. if you have a 64 bit OS and want to create 64 bit apps then you don't cross compile...

I cannot help further here, don't have Windows and no MSVC. Maybe someone else can. Sorry.
