    Default Re: How configure Qt Creator x86 debugging for MSVC2008 and Win7 x64?

    I am building x86 applications under Windows 7 x64 using Qt 4.7.4 and MSVC 2008. When I tell Qt Creator to start debugging I get a popup saying (see attached screenshot):

    "None of the debugger engines Cdb, Gdb capable of debugging binaries of the type x86-windows-msvc2008-pe-32bit is configured correctly."

    I have both x86 and x64 MSVC 2008 installs under C:\Program Files:
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0
    • C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0


    I can debug from MSVC 2008 when I use the Qt Visual Studio Add-In to open the Qt projects.

    How do I configure Qt Creator for source level debugging?

    Thanks in advance,

    Solved.

    There may be more light-weight ways to configure MSVC 2008 debugging under Qt Creator using the MSVC installation itself, however installing of the Windows 7 SDK worked.

    1 - Download and install the following Windows SDK:

    Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4
    winsdk_web.exe
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...s.aspx?id=8279

    2 - During SDK installation you must check the optional debugging tools.
    A better more light-weight install method is to un-check all but the Debugging Tools.
    I think I may go back and do this to keep my development VM smaller.

    If you don’t need an entire kit (neither WDK nor Windows SDK) but you do need only the Debugging tools, you can install the Debugging Tools as a standalone component from the Windows SDK. In the Windows SDK installation wizard, click through a few screens, select Debugging Tools for Windows on the page for selecting features/options and clear other components that you don’t want. This will download Debugging Tools for Windows without the rest of the Windows SDK
    3 - After installation, I launched Qt Creator, started debugging, and accepted defaults to the dialogs that pop-up concerning debug symbols.
