Fresh Qt install, Qt Creator not working because Utils.dll wasn't found

[MatusGuy]

I reinstalled Qt and now Qt Creator isn't working because this error message pops up (twice) when trying to start it:

So, I opened Qt Design Studio, despite never trying it, and that opened correctly, but when I open my project, I get these errors, which block me from working on my project:

I reinstalled Qt because Qt Creator was acting very slow and my kits were suddenly incompatible.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I also tried installing Qt Creator via https://www.qt.io/offline-installers > Qt Creator, but that gave the same error

... and so I installed it in the C drive, it worked, i'm not even gonna touch it

Hi, if you install Qt on C: (instead of E:) do you get the same error?

[MatusGuy]

@hskoglund Wow okay, I first tried installing only Qt Creator in C:\Qt\qtcreator-8.0.0 using https://www.qt.io/offline-installers (because my C drive is quite full and E has 1TB of capacity) and so it started up with no errors
Now I just need to link Qt, but it's not recognizing it

Should I still try installing Qt to C:? And if so, can I just copy the Qt directory to C: because downloading, extracting and installing takes ages?

[MatusGuy]

I found Utils.dll inside C:\Qt\qtcreator-8.0.0\bin, I'm going to try reinstalling qt creator in E: again

[MatusGuy]

@MatusGuy Utils.dll is just missing when I try to install in E, the only different thing I noted when installing to E was this warning

If I press retry, it shows again, so I pressed ignore

Instead of installing, I will copy Qt Creator from C to E
And so I did and it started just like the one in C

[MatusGuy]

@MatusGuy Qt also kind of failed to install and that's why I can't link it to Qt Creator, does this mean every time I want to install Qt, I'll have to install on C (i recently freed some space from my C drive) first and then copy to E? Maybe something's wrong with my E drive? How common even is this problem?

Hi,

Out of curiosity, what kind of medium is your E drive ?

[MatusGuy]

@SGaist An internal secondary HDD which came with the computer, my C drive is an SSD

[hskoglund]

Hi (also curious) perhaps your secondary HDD (the E: drive) is formatted with exFAT instead of NTFS?

[MatusGuy]

@hskoglund No
