How to download 5.15? (Open source)

[Jeroen537]

I used to be able to install Qt 5.15 through the Maintenance and Installation tools, but not anymore. The latest Qt5 version I get from the Archives is Qt 5.9.2.
Is this intentional? Is there a way to get 5.15 back? Thanks.

@Jeroen537 Hi.Qt 5.15 open source is avalaible using the online installer https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss?hsCtaTracking=99d9dd4f-5681-48d2-b096-470725510d34|074ddad0-fdef-4e53-8aa8-5e8a876d6ab4

During the installation, in the tab concerning the version of qt you want to install, check archives and refresh the installer.You will find older versions like Qt 5.15

@Ronel_qtmaster Thanks, but that is what I did. To be doubly sure, I just downloaded a fresh copy of the Online Installer. I chose Custom Installation, then clicked Archive and then Filter.

Under Qt the list of versions starts with 6.7.0 at the top, then goes from 6.6.3 down to 6.2.0, then 5.9.2, 5.9.1, and 5.9.0. That is all.

There used to be 5.15.2. All from 5.10 and up have disappeared.

@Jeroen537
i don't know how or where you downloaded your installer but everything is okay.I have tested it now to be sure

[Jeroen537]

@Ronel_qtmaster Hi, and thanks again for trying. I downloaded from your link, and this is what I see:

I am on Mac, maybe that has something to do with it?

Added: Yes, that's it. I tried it on a Windows virtual machine, and it showed all versions. I'll try to file a bug report. Thanks again.

[Ronel_qtmaster]

@Jeroen537 yes it may be related to mac.I am using windows and everything is okay with the installer here.

Is there a way to get 5.15 back?

Could this be because of the mirror that is selected? Is the list of available Qt versions always fetched from the official download site or is it fetched from the selected mirror? In the latter case your mirror might have been automatically been selected for a bad one (or because of other problems in the past you have set one yourself).

The last resort is always to compile Qt from source yourself.

@SimonSchroeder you can find all old releases in the archive: https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/

These are singe-version installers, so not the nicest option. But it's better than nothing.

@sierdzio The problem is that Qt 5.15 there is only source code, no offline installer.

[Jeroen537]

@jsulm Are you sure? There is one the Windows installer, and I installed it before on my Mac with the online installer.

[Jeroen537]

@SimonSchroeder Thanks for the suggestion! That will do for the moment. I submitted a bug report.

I can't see any installer for Qt 5.15.x

[Jeroen537]

@jsulm It gets stranger and stranger... this is (part of) what I see on my Windows VM (just ran the installer):

What system are you on?

[jsulm]

@Jeroen537 I was not talking about the installer but the link provided by @sierdzio where I can't find the offline installer for Qt 5.15.x

[Jeroen537]

@jsulm I now see what you mean. Sorry for the confusion.

Having said that, when I open @sierdzio's link I see:

[jsulm]

@Jeroen537 Yes, and when you go to 5.15 you will not find an installer for precompiled Qt, only source code.

[Jeroen537]

@jsulm I see now! Makes the issue even more pressing. Thanks.

@Ronel_qtmaster 5.15 is missing on my mac too, but on windows, it's on the list. now I use python tool aqt install it.

In case you do not see all the QT version option, try pressing Filter Button there. More version options will be displayed. This works for me.

Unfortunately, 5.15 is not in my list.
