QT offline installer version misunderstanding - qt

Trying to download Qt offline installer since online failed installation.
Trying to download from official releases: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.9/5.9.5/
But why there is version 5.9.5 while default online installer is ver 3.0.4 ?

The online installer is a tool, and the current version is 3.0.4. It can download any Qt version from the internet (hence online)
The offline installer has everything you need for a specific Qt version (e.g. 5.9.5) packed in the installer (hence offline).
For each Qt version that the single online installer can install, there will be a separate offline installer.

By downloading the online installer you are becoming able to use the online Qt installer not the Qt itself. Downloading it is
By using online Qt installer you can install lots of things about Qt like Qt designer Qt 5.10.1, Qt 5.4.2 etc. And These are inside the Qt online installer.
Do not worry about the version of the online installer. It has the latest Qt version.(Beside the old ones).
If you are not sure what you are doing. You can use this link to download Qt:

Setup qtcreator using Microsoft Enterprise WDK

I'm trying to setup qtcreator using Microsoft Enterprise WDK.
I want to build MSVC and UWP apps, but I do not want to install MS VisualStudio.
Does anyone know howto setup debugger cdb, c and c++ compiler, ... for qtcreator. Since MS EWDK is unzipped in a folder like C:\Dev qtcreator cannot auto-detect it.
I also flipped through the QT documentation, but it is confusing me.
I still have no solution to integrate EWDK into qtcreator.
But there is an alternative to install a "minimum" Microsoft environment for qtcreator:
Install the Visual Studio Build-Tools, which is new as of 2017 and only select the build-tools for C++
Install only the debugger from Windows SDK

An installer for Qt apps

I've created a Qt calculator app using Qt Creator 3.6.0 purely in C++ code (I didn't use Designer)
I would like to know how to use Qt to make it installable for publishing.
I ran the app in both Release and Debug modes and have both folders of the two.
I also downloaded and installed Qt Installer Framework Opensource 2.0.1 for my Qt Creator 3.6.0 (the IDE I use for Qt).
And I also have the .dll files needed to run the .exe file.
I've searched the Web for it. But since I'm a novice in Qt I can't do the works properly, or I don't understand. (They seem complicated)
Now, is there any straight forward method to use an installer for the app to make as platform independent as possible?
If so, what installer? And how to do the process? This is the first time for me.

setting up qt creator 2.7 on windows

I am beginning to learn Qt gui programming and for this I downloaded Qt Creator 2.7.1 for win xp.
I installed it but when i try to create a new project it asks me to select a kit. There are no kits installed so they say me to setup one. I installed the MinGW compiler (and selected the mingw-g++.exe but i thinks its not right). But when I set up the Qt version they ask me to locate the qmake.exe which i cant find anywhere on my system.
please guide me on setting up the creator so that i have a painless experience in the future. Please tell me the correct steps and the right files to choose.
Qt Creator is not enough to create applications using Qt framework. You also need Qt framework (the Qt libraries) installed, see the download page here and depending on the version of Qt you want you can download one of these:
Qt 5.0.2 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.7, 650 MB) - this one is kind of an SDK and include a MinGW, Creator and obviously the Qt framework, but if you added your MinGW to system's path you will have to remove it from there, because if you have multiple versions in path you will get some errors when you build applications
or
Qt libraries 4.8.4 for Windows (minGW 4.4, 317 MB) - for this i think you need to install MinGW your self - but i'm not sure about that

Downloading Qt 4.8.3

I haven't used Qt for months. But now when i want to download the latest version, I can't find the download for the last version in Qt project website there is only Qt SDK with version 4.8.1 but in the commercial version website there is 4.8.3.
so where can I download Qt SDK with Qt 4.8.3 for linux (ubuntu) ? please
I have installed the SQK with apt-get i just, and i downloaded Qt 4.8.3. what i need now is the instruction to compile it with MySQL plugins.
there is a file in the download that points to the old qt.nokia.com website so i can't find these instructions.
http://qt-project.org/downloads
try this link it might work
The details about 4.8.3 are also given in the link. I'm using Qt creator it is working fine for me.
Note for Qt 4.6.3 and Qt 4.7.3 development
Qt SDK 1.2 contains only the latest targets for developing applications for Symbian platforms. If you wish to work with Qt 4.6.3 for Symbian or Qt 4.7.3 for Symbian^3 and Symbian Anna please use Qt SDK 1.1.2. Once you have installed Qt SDK 1.1.2, to enable use of the earlier targets and App TRK, don’t run the SDK update as this will remove the features you need.
Please be aware that if you want to use the Qt SDK 1.1.2 and Qt SDK 1.2.1 on the same computer, you should install them into separate user accounts.
Qt SDK 1.1.2 can be found here.
This is what mentioned in the site. I think there is no such version for Qt SDK

Qt Designer - Qt 4.8.1

I cannot figure out how to open up Qt Designer on MacOS. I am a new user to macOS and would greatly appreciate any help on how to open Qt Designer. I have already installed the Qt 4.8.1 libraries. It's not located in 'Applications' as I would have expected it to be when looking in Finder.
Look at the details of the installer output - Qt does not install itself in the application folder but inside your personal documents, ~/QtSDK/... or something like that. I simply installed Qt twice as I did not find the Qt binaries inside the application folder and looked for the detailed installation report to figure out where the binaries went.
