    We have a "development" machine and a "deployed" machine. It turns out, we need to run the our program inside QtCreator on the "deployed" machine, because something is wrong, and we want to run it in the debugger.

    When I copied over our installation directory and tried to open our project, QtCreator complained that our CMakeLists.txt.user file was in a format belonging to an earlier version of Qt, and refused to open our project. When I look at "About" on both sides, the versions look the same.

    How can I get past this, and run my program on the "deployed" system?

      Don't copy generated stuff, only the sources.
