Installed just the IDE on Windows 7. I want to create a Plain C++ Project (Non-QT Project); however I get an error: No valid kits found. When I click on Options->Kits, I see the Desktop (default) kit, and it shows no errors.
Am I getting the error because I didn't install a Qt library? If so, is there any way I can bypass downloading/installing that and just use the IDE?
See Question&Answers more detail:os
Though OP is asking about Windows, this error also occurs on Ubuntu Linux and Google lists this result first when you search for the error"QtCreator: No valid kits found".
On Ubuntu this is solved by running:
For Qt5:
sudo apt-get install qt5-default
For Qt4:
sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui
This question is answered here and here, though those entries are less SEO-friendly...
