QtCreator: No valid kits found

Question

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 O

Answer 1

Another way to solve this issue (I did it on Ubuntu 16.04 but it might also work for windows and other Ubuntu versions):

While going through the installation steps, when you reach the step where you choose which packages to install via check boxes, instead of just pressing next with the default "Tools" checkbox selected also check the box for the version of QT you would like in addition to the "Tools" box. I usually check the first box which is the latest version of QT.

After doing this you should not see the "no valid kits found" issue described in this thread.

Happy Coding.
