Qt versions and disk space

From the open source downloads site I can download Qt5, but I have no idea what version I am installing. The download site recognizes that I require a Windows version, which is correct. Then the downloader, in the middle of the download complains that I don't have enough disk space (several more Gb needed) so I cancelled the installer. I have never seen a download require this much disk space, and I have installed several GUI tools such as Eclipse and many circuit simulators. Never seen anything like this. The download site should tell the user what version they are installing, and the amount of space needed before they download.

Hi
Something is not right from your description.
On the download page, you get the online installer.
From that you get
qt-unified-windows-x86-3.0.4-onlineRunning that let you choose what to installer.
If you blindly check all, it will be gigabytes as its for mingw 32 bit, visual studio 32 & 64 bit, android development. Windows app development and some more.
Normally no user need all that installed.
Only select ONE Qt package.
If you dont already have visual studio compiler installed i suggest
mingw as its complete ready to go.
The Qt visual studio version is NOT with compiler. You must install that from MS site as its not allowed to be included.Unless you want to develop for Android or UWP or MacOS,
the mingw version is all you need.So expand and select.
the size is list in right side for the selected components

Your reply makes sense, unfortunately, when I downloaded the installer from the open source link, and then ran the exe, there is nowhere that a list pops up where I can select what to install. So I would love to get the chance to install just what I need, but the installer doesn't give me any such choices. Where do I get such an installer?

@sydneyfaria Can you post the file name of the installer you downloaded?
