I just built the Qt 5.7, but I cannot find qtcreator.exe in the bin folder, why is it not there?

Another question is, some other components require zlib1.dll and I am not sure how to properly install them.

Qt Creator is independent of the Qt libraries. You do not need to build Qt Creator in order to use it with Qt 5.7. Any version of Qt Creator will work, just install it. It is self-contained and comes with the correct version of the Qt libraries for its own use. You configure the kit to point to your 5.7 version of Qt which it will use during builds.

There is a Qt configure option to choose to use Qt's built-in version of zlib. I don't remember what it is, so you'll have to run configure --help to find that.
