Cannot add qt version to qt visual studio plugin - visual-studio

I'm using Visual studio 2019 and I've added the Qt Visual Studio Tools plugin from the "Manage Extensions" window. I've installed the latest version 2.7.2.2.
When I try to add a Qt version, in Options->Qt->Versions, I'm able to add the Qt that I've installed (that I use with CMake etc, so I know that's working), and I save it.
When I save, close and reopen the same window, the version disappears, like the plugin is not able to save the configuration.
I'm not able to find any logs that tell me what did wrong, so:
Where can I find logs for checking the error when trying to add the Qt version?
Where the configuration should be stored?
If I know where the data are stored, I can try to add the configuration manually instead of using the GUI, hoping that it will fix the problem.

i came across the same error. Then if you look at the 'output' of VS when you click ok after setting the QT version, you may see the same error message saying that qt license is not found. Try download the license file from QT, rename it as .qt-license, and put it under c:/Users//

Cannot build an installer for a CocoaApp (Xamarin.Forms) on Visual Studio for Mac

I have been trying to build a simple installer from a newly created template from Visual Studio for Mac.
New Project > Cocoa App
Nothing fancy really.
I can run the app in debug mode, but as soon as I enable the Create Installer Package option, it won't build.
Options > Build > Mac Build > Packaging : Create installer package (checkbox)
I always get this error:
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/Mac/Xamarin.Mac.Common.targets(3,3): Error MSB6006: "productbuild" exited with code 134. (MSB6006) (InstallerAttempt01)
I am using the latest Visual Studio Mac, and the latest Xamarin.Forms versions.
So, I must be missing something, and I don't really know what right now, as I can't find any info on this topic anywhere.
Just to confirm that this is a bug, me and one more developer have confirmed it.
You can upvote or comment here so that it may be fixed quicker: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/13197
Update: Apple is expected to fix this problem in the new version of macOS/XCode

Use Qt Remote Objects in Visual Studio (with qt plugin)

I want to develop a program using Visual Studio working with Qt Remote Objects but I don't find the correct way to have it working. Based to this log the Qt Visual Studio Tools should support Qt Remote Objects managements starting from version 2.4.0. However I don't understand in which field of project Qt settings insert the REPC_SOURCE value. Someone can give me the correct tips?
To reply to my own request for all is interested the Qt Remote Objects field in project settings show up only if a .rep file is added to the project.

Qt Visual C++ Add-in No Default Version Found

I am at my wit's end trying to configre Qt. I have finally got it built with MSVC++2010, but I'm having trouble with the add-in. I'm getting the "no default version found" error despite the fact that I have set a path to what I believe to be the right place in C:\Users\Aaron\Downloads\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.2\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.2\qtbase
Is this the correct place? If not, what file am I trying to link VSC++ to? Is it the qmake?
Thanks
Search your qt build for qmake.exe. The path to that file is what the Qt Add-on is looking for.
You might also need to end it with a backslash.

Hope that helps.
Alright, my problem was that I had the wrong version of Qt installed. I was using everywhere-Qtopensource. I downloaded Qt for VS2010 and linked the add-in to that version's makefile and it worked fine.
For me the problem was I was adding the wrong directory, I tried to add the bin directory, then i tried to add the QT directory. The directory to be added is the C:\QT\QT5\5.7\msvc2013_64 directory, or whatever they are calling it today.
Note I had to update visual stupidity, then install the latest "QT visual studio tools".
Then I found that these studio tools don't have the core QT build utilities - such as qmake, for instances, so I had to install the QT Unified installer for windows, then be sure that the MSVC 20xx 64 bit version is selected. I didn't need the rest of it, and i certainly don't need 58GB of garbage.

How to Configure QT Environment to work with Visual Studio 2010

Could you please help me how to make QT work in VS2010? step by step please :)
i installed a fresh copy of windows and i have this files:
Windows 7 Ultimate
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate
qt-win-opensource-4.7.3-vs2008
qt-vs-addin-1.1.9
Also i'm really confused, i found many ways to do this but all didn't work. Also i don't know why some download "qt-win-opensource-4.7.3-vs2008" and then recompile it. Dose "qt-vs-addin-1.1.9" replace the recompiling step or what?
So please i need a help on how to install QT with VS 2010
The vs-addin does not replace recompiling but there's no need to recompile if you have pre-built Qt binaries (unless you want to change the configuration).
First install your pre-built binary package of Qt. If you've chosen to rebuild it, do that (you won't use the VS UI for this, it's all command-line based). Be sure you install this to a path that doesn't include any spaces in it... something like C:\qt\qt-4.7.3 perhaps.
Then install vs-addin, and start VS.
Now open the Qt menu, go to Qt options, and click Add to add a version. (You can install multiple Qt versions on your system this way if you wish.) Give the version a name of your own choosing, and specify the path to where you've installed it. Close out the options dialog.
Finally, create a new project and notice that the creation wizard has a section for Qt4 Project templates. Choose Qt application and you're well along your way.

Qt for windows CE

I have installed Qt for windows CE using this link http://qt.nokia.com/products/platform/qt-for-windows-ce for visual studio8, I can see Qt tab in VS IDE.
I tried to create new application for QT am getting error that
"There are no Qt/CE platforms defined. Please add your Qt/CE build in the Tools/Options/Qt/Builds dialog."
How can i define platform??
As it explains in the error. Go to tools menu, then options submenu. Select Qt from the tree and then select Builds item. There you will see an Add button. Click it. Write the version and path of your installed Qt. Then you are good to go.
Okay, I click Tools, select the "Options…" menu item (it is not a submenu), up comes the "Options" dialogue box, I see no "Qt" entry in the tree. Fresh never-used-before install of Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP Pro SP3, with Qt add-in installed and I've tried running it as an Administrator too.
Did I miss something?
In the meantime, I have discovered some notes here:
http://www.sereno-labs.com/qt-4-6-2-installation-procedure-friendlyarm-mini-2440-windows-ce-5-0
The device I'm targeting is not a FriendlyARM, rather a Psion hand-held, but nevertheless, suggests that the bare Qt package lacks any VisualStudio binaries.
Further update…
My aging P4 laptop is busily compiling Qt now, has been for some hours. I found that for the Psion, I had to edit the setcepaths.bat script to make the call to checksdk.exe consistent with the SDKs actually provided. Upon doing this, things seem to be working. If you get an error message regarding a missing header, run:
checksdk.exe -list
That'll tell you what your SDK is actually called. You might find then that running:
checksdk.exe -sdk "Your SDK with spaces (and ARCH in brackets)" -script tmp.bat
tmp.bat should produce the needed environment.
Lastly, I hit a compiler error due to some left-over autogenerated files in the Qt build directories. I'll post up the (Cygwin) command I used to clean up the sources mid-build when I find it.
