QtCreator says: x "SDK tools are not installed" - qt

I open Extras-->Settings in QtCreator and the error "SDK tools are not installed" is shown on the page 'Devices'. What exactly is missing?
I installed Android Studio 3.5.3 in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio. And Qt Creator 4.11.0 (Community) is installed in D:\Qt\Qt5.12.7\Tools\QtCreator\bin.
I looked at File-->Settings in Android Studio but there is everything installed in "Appearance&Behavior"-->"System Settings"-->"Android SDK"-->"SDK Tools".
My OS is Windows 10.

Well, I found out, I must set "C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk" instead of "C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio" in the lineedit field "Android-SDK" on page "Devices"-->"Android" in Qt Creator's settings dialog.
Now it says "Android settings are correct. (SDK-Version: 26.1.1, NDK-Version: 18.1.5063045)"

Installing a compiler for Qt4.8.7 on Windows10

I am trying to install Qt4.8.7 for Windows 10 and I am having some issues with installing the corresponding compiler.
I got the Qt4.8.7 installer from this link: https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.7/ and I have tried working with the MSVC2010 and the mingw versions. For the MSVC2010 version, I followed this guide https://wiki.qt.io/How_to_setup_MSVC2010 (with a lot of dead links) and installed the compiler alongside the MSVC service pack 1 and Windows SDK 7.1. I have not been able to find an installer for Visual Studio 2010 or the VS service pack 1. Qt studio recognises the version of qt I have installed alongside the corresponding MSVC2010 x86 compiler but when I compile I get this error for a missing header: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\intrin.h:26: error: C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ammintrin.h': No such file or directory".
For the mingw version, I have not been able to find the correct version "mingw482" and other versions I have tried do not seem to be compatible. I have tried mingw installer programs as well as using the QT online installer to try and find the correct version but I haven't had much luck when compiling.
Has anyone got qt4.8.7 running on windows recently? If so, could you please point me in the right direction for installing the correct compiler?
Many thanks.
Here a short description for getting it to work with Visual Studio 2008 and the newest Qt Creator 4.13.
You will need:
Visual Studio 2008 Express for the build tools, there are no standalone build tools as far as I'm aware
Qt 4.8.7 precompiled for VS2008 from this link to Qt archives at the time of writing this the version you need is called "qt-opensource-windows-x86-vs2008-4.8.7.exe"
Any Windows debugger cdb.exe
Steps (all absolute paths are standard installation paths):
Install VS2008
Install Qt 4.8.7
Open your Qt Creator go to Tools->Options...->Kits->Tab Compilers and search for "Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 9.0", it probably won't be there so you will need to add it by hand by looking for the vcvarsall.bat of this compiler. You will find it in C:/Program Files(x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/vcvarsall.bat. Repeat for C, C++, x86 and x64. Press save
Open the Qt-Versions tab and look for Qt 4.8.7 Version. It will probably not be there again so add it by hand by selecting the qmake.exe from C:/Qt/4.8.7/bin/qmake.exe. Press save
Open the Kits tab and add a new kit. Select your Qt 4.8.7 version and the MS compilers for C and C++, your favorite debugger and input the Qt-makespec win32-msvc2008. Press save again
Now you should be able to compile your project from Qt Creator and Qt-colored-commandline. For integration of MSVC 9.0 into Visual Studio 2015 and newer you will also need to install Visual Studio 2012 Express. In that order:
VS2008
VS2012 (Here MS programmed in some magic so newer VS can see older build tools)
VS201x
It could work in any other order but don't rely on it. Also it could just flat out not work and you will waste a week of your life to fix it; but then it will work.
Haven't tested it but I could imagine the same workflow will work for VS2010.

How to use Visual studio code with Qt/Qmake? (macOS)

How to use Qt with Visual Studio Code? I have Qt 5.15.1 installed which builds my code for macOS, Android and iOS.
Is it possible to have Visual Studio Code build my Qt application for macOS, Android and iOS like QtCreator does?
Environment:
My developer environment is macOS Catalina.
If you're using cmake, which you should, then all you need to do is configure your cmake project to point to your Qt folder, which basically means setting the project's Qt5_dir env variable to point to your Qt installation.
Here's what you need to do to get Visual Studio Code to work with Qt using Microsoft's CMake Tools extension:
Verify that you really have Qt installed,
Install Microsoft's CMake Tools extension,
Open CMake Tools extension's "Edit CMake Cache (UI)"
click on "CMake extension" on vscode's activity bar to open "CMake: project outline",
click on the "View and more actions" button (i.e., elipsis on upper right corner of the project outline.
Edit CMake's cache to point Qt5_dir to ${QTINSTALLDIR}/5.15.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5
Rebuild project.
You can achieve the same goal by using cmake-gui to configure your cmake project.
If instead you really want to stick with qmake then it's enough to setup a build task that runs qmake.

Cannot run Qt example in Qt creator: The program has unexpectedly finished

Recently I tried to upgrade Qt to 5.8.0 on Windows 7 32bit from Qt5.6.2 MSVC 2013, and I saw strange issues.
I downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2015 from this link: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
After I installed Qt 5.8.0 MSVC 2015 version, Qt Creator 4.2.1 can be launched. From the welcome page, I selected the example named: "Address Book Example". And then after clicking "Configure" project, the project is listed in Qt Creator.
Now I tried to build the project, which was successful. But when I tried to run the project, I got the following error messages:
Starting C:\Qt\Examples\Qt-5.8\widgets\itemviews\build-addressbook-Desktop_Qt_5_8_0_MSVC2015_32bit-Debug\debug\addressbook.exe...
The program has unexpectedly finished.
C:\Qt\Examples\Qt-5.8\widgets\itemviews\build-addressbook-Desktop_Qt_5_8_0_MSVC2015_32bit-Debug\debug\addressbook.exe crashed.
I didn't see this kind of error before when I was using Qt5.6.2 with MSVC 2013. I also tried the following things:
Reinstall Qt5.8.0 MSVC 2015 using offline installer
Reinstall Qt5.7.1 MSVC 2015 using offline installer
Reinstall Qt5.6.2 MSVC 2015 using offline installer
Reinstall Qt5.8.0 using online installer, in which I chose MSVC 2013 and MSVC 2015
I still kept getting the same error messages.
When I went to the debug folder, double clicked the exe file, it said some Qt dlls were missing. I then manually copied to the debug folder, then the exe can be run with no problem.
Now I want to run app from inside Qt Creator, but not sure what is the issue with Qt Creator 4.2.1. I researched in Google for a few hours, but still cannot find out the reason why Qt Creator cannot run projects even it's own Example projects. (same errors for my own projects)
I feel it must be something to do with Qt creator environment/settings. Anyone has any ideas about this problem?
Update 1:
I tried to use MinGW with Qt Creator, the addressbook example can be run correctly. Looks like it's related to MSVC 2015. I need MSVC 2015, because all other environments don't support webenginewidgets, and I got:
:-1: error: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets
Not sure if this is a bug in Qt or Qt creator.
Update 2:
In my Qt Creator, I saw warning icons for MSVC 2013 and MSVC 2015 compilers, please see the screenshots below:
I finally resolved the issue. The reason is that the Windows 10 SDK is missing.
After I download and install all default components of the Windows 10 SDK, everything worked on Windows 7 32bit.
Basically, to make sure we can use Qt5.8.0+ on Windows (including Qt WebEngine), we need to install both:
Visual Studio 2015, and
Windows 10 SDK
I'm late but I've found the main culprit is "ucrtbased.dll".
I didn’t install Windows 10 SDK.
I'm on Windows 7 SP1 x64, Qt 5.9.2 with Visual Studio Build Tools 2015 (v14.0.25420.1) and Windows 8.1 SDK with MS Debugger Tools (CDB) installed. The Release Configuration builds are without any issue but the Debug Configuration exhibits the same crash behavior. The fix is simple. The normal install of Visual Studio Build Tools 2015 with Win8.1 SDK places "ucrtbased.dll" in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64\ucrt" for 64-bit and "..\x86\ucrt" for 32-bit builds - even the Windows 10 SDK is not installed. If these are included in system path, or copied to the Qt's current project build folder, the issue is simply resolved.

How to fix QT VS Add-in for Qt 5.6 beta and VS2015?

I did not compile Qt myself, rather I used installer from official Qt website (5.6 beta is available since few days ago). Installation was successful, Qt folder conatins bin folder with qmake and everything. Building apps in Qt Creator works.
However, when I try to launch Qt using VS addin 1.2.5.9 I get error
No default Qt version found. Pleae check your Qt Visual Studio Add-in
settings.
I have edited QT5 -> Qt Options to contain the correct Qt path to 5.6 beta, error still persists.
I have also added QTDIR into Path in Windows 10.
I am using Community Edition of Visual Studio 2015
How to fix this? Create new Qt project under VS fails as well.
The Qt Visual Studio add-in is no longer supported in Visual Studio 2015.
Microsoft decided to deprecate AddIn support in Visual Studio 2013 and with Visual Studio 2015 all support for it has been removed. This is covered in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTVSADDINBUG-404. However, there's an extension called Qt5Package you can install instead.
I found when I tried to add Qt 5.6.0 Beta in the extension I got the error "This Qt version uses an unsupported makefile generator (used: MSVC.NETMSBUILD, supported: MSVC.NET, MSBUILD)". The workaround is in C:\Qt\Qt5.6.0\5.6\msvc2015\mkspecs\common\msvc-desktop.conf Qt 5.6.0 splits all the version-specific changes into a separate file msvc-base.conf. If you copy the contents of this file and replace the line "include(msvc- base.conf)" in mscv-desktop.conf then Qt5Package recognises the Qt 5.6.0 Beta with no problems.
Note this still needs to be fixed in Qt5Package.

Qt Creator issue : Cannot open include file: ‘windows.h’

I have installed ‘Qt Creator 2.4.1 Based on Qt 4.7.4 (32 bit)’ on Windows 7 with Visual studio 2008. But on creating the basic project am getting following error :
c:\qtsdk\desktop\qt\4.8.1\msvc2008\mkspecs\win32-msvc2008\..\win32-msvc2005\qplatformdefs.h:67:
error: C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory
Also I checked the windows.h its present in following location : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include\
I would like to mention that I can’t use the MinGW target due to project specifications.
Requesting everyone to help me out of this situation.
in Qt Creator, Tools--Options, Build&Run, Kits, choose a kit and edit its attributes, change the Compiler from "Microsoft Windows SDK ..." to "Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 9.0 (x86)".
I solved the same problem by this way.
Check Qt creator's Projects/Build Environment and edit variables
(INCLUDE, LIB, OSINCLUDES, OSLIBRARIES, PROGRAMFILES, SDKDIR, SDKTOOLS, WINDOWSSDKDIR)
that contains Windows SDK 7.1 path(C:\Program Files **(x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1**).
Maybe Windows SDK 7.1 is installed at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1"
