    Default Having trouble getting the right version

    I tried downloading the QtCreator first, for Windows 7 64-bit. I picked this link (Qt Creator 2.8.1 for Windows), rather than one of the VS ones, which I assume mean Visual Studio. When I installed it, I was running 2.4.1, not 2.8.1, and it says it's based on Qt 4.7.4, not 5.1.1 which I need. The reason I want 5.1.1 is to be able to use the QtQuick.controls so I don't have to write my own scrolling text areas and lists.

    So, I uninstalled that and went for the Qt Online Installer for Windows (5.1.1), which includes the latest QtCreator. So, that actually did have the latest of both and included the QtQuick.Controls as well. However, that version wouldn't build anything like the emulator or anything, because all it had was a 32-bit version of MinGW. Well, I'm not sure it even installed properly because it would get to about 92% finished and then get some problems on the other MinGW versions I think, but when I said "Retry" it started all over again but this time didn't have an error. So not sure if that is an issue with this particular option or just a one-time error.

    Then I tried installing it on ubuntu with the online installer, then found out that the emulator isn't supported on that platform. I was so close, it did everything else.

    I'll throw in one other bit of info, that both the Windows 7 and ubuntu machines are virtual, running them with VirtualBox 4.3.4 from a Windows 7 host, and each having 2GB of RAM (the host has 8 GB). I don't think that matters, but just in case.

    So it is looking like I can either have the older Qt with no controls, but it does run the emulator, or I can have the newer version that has the controls but doesn't run the emulator. Surely, I must be doing something wrong, so can anyone clue me in on what?

    Thanks.

    Uninstall all Qt Creators, download a copy from http://download.qt-project.org/offic...urce-2.8.1.exe, and install a fresh one. It looks like you already tried that version, any way try in once again, it is correct version.
    When you know how to do it then you may do it wrong.

    Santosh,

    Thanks for the quick and timely reply. That did in fact get me the 2.8.1 version of QtCreator. So now I guess I need to download Qt as well. I'm getting it from here: http://download.qt-project.org/offic...86-offline.exe, would that be correct?

    Thanks again.

    I got the same error I did before, after 79% complete:

    Error during installation process (qt.511.win32_mingw48.essentials):
    Running '.../qmake.exe' resulted in a crash.

    The options are Retry, Ignore, and Cancel. I've tried all three and none of them get me a good install. Any ideas?

    Here are the last bits of the text I got before the error:

    C:\Qt\Qt5.1.1\Tools\mingw48_32\i686-w64-mingw32\include\psdk_inc

    I completely uninstalled all Qt related software before I installed either package. I used the Revo Uninstaller, which does the normal install and then checks again for anything lingering in the registry or file system, it should have been clean.

    So what is the cure of this error. I received it after isntalling qt5. Interestingly that I did not included MINgw toolchain, just the MINGW essentials. And it evoked the error. In previous and this attempts of install -- the installation virually stops at 79% of installation for about several minutes--after which this error is produced. Despite in early attempts there was the MINGW toolchain, but this error again produced by MINGW essentials.
