Well, that would make recompiling take another 3 hours. It's standard to leave those object files there. > 5. Why don't Nokia supply a bare-bones Qt installation for Windows > that is built with VS?

Well, the easiest is three steps: 1) Download the qt msvc binary package, install it. 2) In Tools\Options\Qt-Versions Point Creator at that Qt Installation and change the default installation to that Qt Version. 3) And rebuild all projects. daniel _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
