Is Windows Development even possible with QT?

[NotSoQT]

If you download Qt for Qt Creator/MinGW or GCC, all you have to do is to download and install it and the environment is setup. Can you notice the trend? The maintainer spends more time testing (and supporting) configurations that are more likely to be used than those less likely to be used. Your configuration apparently is not one of the most popular ones.

Yep, that's why I was going crazy :P

I don't think that's possible

It isn't, but it made me think I was missing some kind of config - turned out to be a odd directory structure I had, exe's are generated just fine

You can even do the whole compilation (qmake && nmake) from the command line and only use VS for writing code and/or running the debugger.

Nice.

Don't worry. Eventually you'll manage to do it. For me it worked out of the box the last time I tried it (Qt 4.6 + MSVS2008 AFAIR, I don't remember the AddIn version). Recently if I'm using MSVC then only from the command line, I'm doing all the development on Linux. That's why I think Qt is cross-platform.

I've managed to get everything 100% in VS2010 now, turned out to be an incorrect and duplicated path variable, and some misplaced files - my fault, as you pointed out earlier :P

Thanks for the help, and sorry about my earlier posts!
