    first I got an error which toled me that the QtMsBuild folder could not be found: I peisted the QtMsBuild folder in to my project folder

    Don't do that. Those files are not part of your project. QtMsBuild is installed as part of the VS extension. The path to it should be set automatically during installation, but if it's not then go to Tools -> Options -> Qt -> Qt/MSBuild and set the path to it manually. It should be something like C:\Users\<user name>\Appdata\Local\QtMsBuild. Make sure the folder is there, otherwise it might mean that the extension did not install correctly for some reason. This setting corresponds to the environment variable QtMsBuild, so you can check if it's set on your system.

    but then I got a lots of errors

    They all mean that you don't have widgets module added in your project. Right click on your project in Solution Explorer, go to Qt -> Qt Project Settings -> General -> Qt Modules and make sure the widgets module is on the list. If not then click the little arrow at the end of the line, Select Modules and check the Qt Widgets module. Make sure you do that for both Release and Debug configuration.

    @Chris-Kawa, first, on qt project settings when I click qt modules an edit box will came, and there is no lists: why?
    I typed QT Widget but then, after compiling I got 300 errors about the msvcp folder in folder qt 6.6.0 snapshot from dev.
    I then created another qt widgets application, but again the saim errors.
    I will send some of the errors here.

      Sounds like you don't have your installed Qt added to the extension options. Open Tools -> Options -> Qt -> Versions and add your Qt installation directory there. Then you can go to your project options and select that version for your project. This should populate the list of available modules.

          @bozorgmehr As the error says Qt6 requires at least C++17 standard, so go to your project settings -> General -> C++ Language Standard and make sure it's set to C++17 (or higher).

            @Chris-Kawa okay, I've changed the project settings and it Compiled successfully, but when running the EXE file I will get these errors
            QWidgetsApplication8.exe - System Error dialog The code execution cannot proceed because Qt6Cored.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
            QtWidgetsApplication8.exe - System Error dialog The code execution cannot proceed because Qt6Widgetsd.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
            I'm sure that the QT installation path is added to path in Environment Variables.
            But still this error is exists: I even used the clean option and then rebuild, but still this error is.

                  Then may it be so - happy searching for another solution.
                  When the correct path to a dll is in the PATH environment var then noone will get an error that this dll can not be found.

                    Out of interest, what happens if you try to run your executable from a Command Prompt, quite outside of VS?

                      Don't add Qt installation to your PATH. You would have to add both the bin and plugin directories. That's a terrible practice and you can't expect your users to do so either. You should properly deploy your app. See windeployqt. Run it on your exe and it will copy all the necessary files to your app dir.

                        If my build system would copy me all the Qt dlls around on every time I build the project I would throw it away. Not to say that imo it does not copy the debug dlls (but I may be wrong) so it does not work for debug.

                          Thankfully most build systems are very configurable and you can do it the exact amount of times that is needed. Usually once :)

                          And I know Linux people prefer to have one copy of libraries on the system, but, at least on Windows, local deployment is the only sane way to have your apps. PATH should be off limits for such things. OP already mentioned two different versions of Qt installed. Adding any of them to PATH is a recipe for disaster sooner or later (probably sooner).

                          Not to say that imo it does not copy the debug dlls (but I may be wrong) so it does not work for debug.

                          Good news - it does!
