    Default Installation - designer

    Downloaded and installed QT Creator 2009.03, full sdk.
    No designer in the QT menu like the manual says there should be.
    What am I doing wrong here?

    Thanks

    Make sure that Designer plugin is built.

    I'm still lost here.

    The QT help screen says:
    "On Windows, click the Start button, under the Programs submenu, open the Qt 4 submenu and click Designer."

    There is no Designer entry in my menu under QT.

    This is a Windows installation. When I look in Help/About Plugins, it shows Designer in the list with a green check mark next to it.

    What to check now?

    Thanks,
    Wayne

    look in the file explorer in the dictionary where you have installed Qt. Under qt\bin there must be a designer.exe. If so, just create a shortcut for your menu.

    Thanks - in QT\2009.03\bin there are files with names of
    QtDesigner4.dll
    QtDesignerComponents4.dll

    But no designer.exe or qtdesigner.exe

    I had the same problem with QT 2009.02 so I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed 2009.03 - same problem.
    Unfortunately I do not have a Linux machine to install on at the moment. Maybe next weekend.

    Yes, thanks Lykurg. That was it.
    Very strange having 2 bin dirs, but there you go.
    A definite bug that it doesn't show up on the Windows menu after install, but it's working ok now.
