Kit can't detect my compiler(s) and debugger.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to back up and start from scratch again. Uninstall the RT version and install the 32-bit MinGW version - still Windows but some things are dictated to me. I can grumble and chew my teeth but I still have to do it. :-) Talk about lessons learned!

update:
- the Qt RT version uninstalled fine (as far as *I* can tell) using the Qt Maintenane Tool
- downloaded qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.5.0 and installed without problem
- began with http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-b...plication.html
from the "Help - Qt Quick Controls" link at mid-page
- in Qt, clicked Examples button . clicked Example tile Qt Quick Controls - Gallery
- checked Kit Selector and it all detected fine (yay!) for the MinGW installed with Qt (bz I explicily told it to, it is not selected by default)
- clicked the green-arrow Run
- FIRST TROUBLE:
"Executable C:\my_TOOLS\QT_5-5_32MinGW\Examples\Qt-5.5\quick\controls\build-gallery-Desktop_Qt_5_5_0_MinGW_32bit-Debug\debug\gallery.exe does not exist."
directory in red is what does not exist.

[[ will troubleshoot in a few days ]]

Sounds like a weird problem in the project configuration.
Click on the "Projects" button and check the build directory there.

Cheers,

Yes, that long-named-build directory wasn't there. I told it where to put the build and that was the last thing needed. NOW! At last!! The build builds and the run runs.
The whole trouble I experienced was due to my original download being the wrong one for what I wanted to do.
Thanks once again for your help and advice!
Next, I have to figure out how to put SOLVED in the title. > Oh - I think that was another Qt forum. This forum doesn't do that, looks like.
