    Hello,

    Windows 10 (64bit)

    I've put just put in Qt 5.1.1, Creator 4.6.2 and MinGW 5.3.0.

    I've used Qt a fair bit in the past, so I think its setup OK.

    Most times when it tries to write its configuration files I get an error about read or write
    access to various *.xml, *.qms files.

    I'm using AVG anti-virus, do you think this is the problem?

    I've put this "C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\qtcreator.exe" in exceptions.

    Any advice.

    (Aappogies if I should go somewhere else, but maybe someone has had this problem)

    Regards

      Can you disable AVG for 5 minutes so you'll know for sure whether it's relevant?

        Thanks.
        I disabled AVG and its OK.
        I now know where the problem is, AVG.

          :) I use AVG at work, and it has a exclusive way of opening files which sometimes interferes with other apps, e.g. I've had repeated intermittent failures compiling from VS where it creates and then cannot delete a temporary LINK file depending on when AVG opened/closed it on the fly....

            @mad-hatter That's https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-7668

            so you're not alone...

            Qt has to stay free or it will die.

              @aha_1980 & @JonB

              Add these to AVG exceptions, improves a lot:-
              C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\qtcreator.exe
              C:\Users\yourName\AppData\Roaming\QtProject*
              C:\Users\yourName\AppData\Roaming\QtProject\qtcreator*

                Should be a baclslash before each '*'.

                  Avast and AVG are the same company, takeover.
                  The fault seems to be with Avast and AVG.

                    hi @mad-hatter, thanks for your feedback!

                    would you mind sharing your experience in the bugreport, so others can profit too? that would be awesome.

                    regards
