How to update to VS2017&Qt5.11.1 from VS2012&Qt5.5.1 ?
-
There is an old solution based on VS2012 & Qt5.5.1. I tried to open it with the new environment VS2017&Qt5.11.1. Then VS2017 asked me if to switch the platform toolset to "Visual Studio 2017 - Windows XP (v141_xp)"(the old one is "Visual Studio 2012 - Windows XP (v110_xp)"). I selected yes, then build the solution with many errors. Then I recovered the platform toolset to Visual Studio 2012 - Windows XP (v110_xp) and set Qt versions to 5.5.1, then the building was successful on VS2017.
So, my question is that is it possible to move the old project to VS2017+Qt5.11.1 from VS2012+Qt5.5.1(I doubt it's impossible due to compatibility problem)? If yes, how? Many thanks!

Maybe.
See http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms-and-configurations.html -- the last version of Qt that officially supports Windows XP is Qt 5.6. Newer versions might work, but they are not tested and not supported.

@JKSH Thanks for your reply! I downloaded the offline installer "qt-enterprise-windows-x86-msvc2015-5.6.3.exe" since I'm a commercial user. Is it the right version compatible with VS2017? Do I need to build the Qt sources via VS2017 or just use the prebuilt Libs of QT? Thanks!

@Lincoln_SNC 2015 version should work with VS2017
