Unexpected CDB Exit

Hello,

I've recently deinstalled Qt 5.6, removed possible leftover directories and installed the newest version 5.7 (Version: Visual Studio 2015 - 64bit)
Expecting to hit a few difficulties, I had an issue right away, which I got fixed after deleting the toolchains.xml file as suggested in this post.

Now my problem is, that when trying to execute the code in debug mode - debug it (default hotkey F5) - I get instantly a very descriptive error.
"Unexpected CDB Exit"
"The CDB process terminated."
Running it works fine, debugging not at all.

I have a totally empty project (default files) without changes - Qt Widgets.

I went through previous posts and google and don't seem to figure out a solution for this error.

I hope someone's able to help me with this issue.

I have the same issue.

Platform: Win7 x64
Qt: 5.6.1-1
Compiler: MSVC 2015 amd64
QtCreator: 4.0.3

I also faced the same problem when I upgrade from vs 2015 update 2 to vs 2015 update 3

I had the same issue, however I later found out that CDB it was using was coming from x86 folder, where my PC is x64 based. I simply selected appropriate version of CDB and voila my problem was solved!

Usually this message appears when some dll is missing or not matching (32bit/64bit). Click the exe file and it will tell you which dll is missing.
