![]() I wonder if I left something out of the install, so I try to run the original offline installer again, but it refuses to run because the directory already exists. I glance at my directory tree, and notice that the lib directory only has a qtcreator subdirectory, no qtcreatorcdbext64 subdirectory. I get a "Failed to Start the Debugger" error, saying: "Internal error: The extension C:\Qt\Qt5.10.0\Tools\QtCreator\lib\qtcreatorcdbext64\qtcreatorcdbext.dll cannot be found." plus a bunch of stuff about a "Maintenance Tool". I give up on that experiment and decide to see what the debugger looks like. And the release executable gives me the same error as the debug executable. I build that, and it runs, but when I go to the directory it's in to try to run it outside the IDE, I notice that I have a directory called "build-gallery-Desktop_Qt_5_10_0_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug" that has a "debug" subdirectory with stuff in it, and a nearly empty "release" subdirectory, plus a "build-gallery-Desktop_Qt_5_10_0_MSVC2017_64bit-Release" directory with a "release" subdirectory with stuff in it, and a nearly empty "debug" subdirectory. Why does it do that? Isn't "Release" the name? So I type in Release, and it seems to do the right thing. There's an Add pulldown that lists Clone Selected, Debug, Release, and Profile, so I choose Release, and it asks me for a name. I think, maybe the Debug version isn't supposed to be runnable outside the IDE, so I manage to figure out how to add the missing Release build. ![]() Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." It pops up a System Error: "The program can't start because Qt5QuickControls2d.dll is missing from your computer. I try closing the program, and use Windows explorer to navigate to the program it just ran, and run the program directly. It compiles, and runs correctly, so it seems to have found my compiler alright. Since I don't need to edit anything, I try the Run button with the green triangle. So I do that, and click "Configure Project", and it switches me to the Edit mode. The only way I can tell it just to build a debug kit is to turn ON "Select all kits" and then turn off Release and Profile. If I turn off the "Select all kits" checkbox, then the choices are grayed out. I know what Debug and Release mean, but have no idea what Profile means. Clicking Details gives me Debug, Release, and Profile choices. It has a checkbox that says "Select all kits", which is on, and an box under it that that says "Desktop Qt 5.10.0 MSVC2017 64bit" with a check next to it, and a Details box. ![]() The web page doesn't say anything about "configuring" a project, so I try to figure out how to work the "Configure Project" page that I'm looking at. You can configure it in the Projects mode." which of course is the mode I'm already in. Instead of popping up a choice of kits, though, it popped up an error message saying "The project gallery is not yet configured. That web page told me to do what I had already done, then said to click the Kit Selector, and select a kit for the device. It popped up a help screen that suggested that I visit "Building and Running an Example", so that's what I did. I ran Qt Creator, selected Examples, and picked "Qt Quick Controls 2 - Gallery". The only checkbox I turned on in the Qt installer is "msvc2017 64-bit". I have Visual Studio Community 2017 installed already. I ran offline installer "qt-opensource-windows-x86-5.10.0.exe" on my Win 7 Pro 64-bit system. ![]()
