    Default Qmake command not recognized

    I am new to Qt. I installed Qt 4.6.2 beta from the Internet smoothly with no technical input on my part. An attempt to install the final version failed so I continued to use the beta version to finish projects I had started. I have completed a project and I am trying to run qmake for the first time. Following the statement from the qmake manual:-

    'You can now use qmake to generate a Makefile for your application. On the command line, in your project's directory, type the following:

    qmake -o Makefile hello.pro'

    I get an error message :- " 'qmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.' ". Screen-shots are attached, I am using Windows Vista Business. Any suggestions?

    You need to either set the PATH variable before you use qmake (e.g. "set PATH=C:\Qt\4.7.0\bin") or use the "Qt Command Prompt" installed to your start menu as part of the Qt installation and use qmake from there.

    It is also possible to write the full path to qmake instead of adding it to PATH.
