Hi!
I am trying to setup MSVS2017 x64 compiler, but where is compiler directory?

Thanks for any advice or comment!

Hi
It seems you have installed UWP ( for "metro" apps development, not desktop type)
Is this intended ?

@mrjj Thanks for comment. No, it's not intended. I am trying to develop desktop app and I'm using external library, which compiled with new version of compiler, that'a way I need compile my project with new version.
I have this error while compiling with MinGw compiler: https://forum.qt.io/topic/95677/error-on-webrtc-base-sigslot-h-file-error-expected-before-token-void-emit-args-args-const

@Nabi
Ok, try
Close creator
delete any projectname.pro.USER file
open project again
It will ask what kit to use
make sure you select the right visual studio 32/64 bit kit.

Visual studio 2015 is compatible with vs 2017 so if that external lib is
vs 2017, vs 2015 should still work,

it seems you installed UWP Qt 2017 and selected that for the project.
That is not for desktop so you should try your other kits.
