Qt Creator crashes loading Examples

Question

There is an Example tab at the Qt Creator(2.6.1)'s Welcome page, which is supposed to show the already made Qt Project Examples. But whenever I click on that, Qt creator closes automatically. Sometimes it shows the Example projects for 1 or 2 seconds and the exits. Any idea?

Answer 1

You probably need to configure Qt Creator to find your Qt installation.

Compiler configuration for Qt Creator

And you might need to get the msvs compiler, too.

They now have the mingw version available for windows with Qt 5.0.2.

http://qt-project.org/downloads

Also if you installed Qt without the examples that may also cause this error.

Hope that helps.
