QtCreator qmake Cannot run compiler 'cl'

Question

Just configured new windows environment with MSVS 2017 and Qt5.9.1.
While building example project bars met an error

Project ERROR: Cannot run c         


        

Answer 1

After next steps all runs fine.

1. Set Dracula style for QtCreator :)
2. Modify MSVS installation addning VC++ 2015.3 v140 toolset for desktop (x86,x64).

Very strange. And that is why I don't like windows. It lives its own live!

So the answer is TRY TO REINSTALL/modify components, including QtCreator itself.
