    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    That's a bit short on details:

    • What version of Qt are you trying to install ?
    • How are you installing MinGW ?
    • Are you using the online or the offline installer ?

      I am on Qt 5.10.1. I installed MinGW through the install process for Qt (it tells me it has MinGW 5.3.0 32 bit). I used the online installer.

        Did you check the Kit in the Preferences to see if there's something off there ?

          One thing that's been happening for a while but never really seemed to affect it was that every time I closed Qt it would spit out Qt Creator has stopped working and said that qtcreator.exe with a version of 4.5.10 had crashed. I just now realized that it was a different version of Qt that was somehow crashing despite not being currently installed.

            @SGaist If by kit prefences you mean that MinGW is default, then yes. it is default. It's also the only kit installed.

              Does it show any yellow or red sign beside the Kit ?

              Did you mix the use of online and offline installer ?

                @SGaist No. And I don't believe I mixed the installation process. It started happening on an install of Qt after months of use so I don't think it's an install thing.

                  Got any Windows updates in between ?
                  Anti-virus ? Some of them are pretty trigger happy and can wreak havoc for development tools.

                    No. I'm running windows 7 and I have auto-updates turned off (Maybe not the safest...)

                          That you already wrote and it's clear. I'm asking about the Qt Creator version.

                              I've been looking into the "Qt Creator has stopped working" problem whenever I close Qt and it seems to be caused by ntdll.dll. Looking into that as it could be related.

                                    I have the same problem.

                                    I have Qt Creator:

                                    Qt Creator 4.6.1
                                    Based on Qt 5.10.1 (Clang 8.0 (Apple), 64 bit)
                                    Built on May 2 2018 04:20:50
                                    From revision 065e644d92
                                    

                                    installed with:

                                    brew cask install qt-creator
                                    

                                    on:

                                    macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 (17E199)

                                        @SGaist, The same as the original poster's one:

                                        Project ERROR: failed to parse default search paths from compiler output
                                        Error while parsing file path/to/project.pro. Giving up.

                                        Going to Build > Run qmake was failing too. After simply running qmake in the terminal, it started working.

                                        It was not creating the Run configuration at all, even after cleaning git ignored files (like the .pro.user file for example) and configuring a Build configuration.
