Qt Online Installer for Windows does not install Qt and QtCreator

gikikof372

qt-online-installer-windows-x64-4.8.0.exe does not let me install Qt and QtCreator, only "Qt Insight Tracker" (whatever that is).

Can it be that the installer is completely broken?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

There might be an issue with the mirror you are using.

Try a different one. Instructions can be found here.

I notice that when using from the command line, this is extremely(!) slow:

[6931] Loaded from cache 33/112. Downloading remaining 79/112.
[6932] Retrieving information from remote repositories...
[- 93%]

Trying your hint now.

With --mirror http://ftp2.nluug.nl/languages/qt it is much faster on the command line and I seem to be able to install.

Thank you very much!

If someone from Qt is reading here, it would be nice if the installer had some error handling so that it would recognize situations like this automatically.

You should check the bug report system to see if there's something related and if not, open a feature suggestion.

Hi, got the same issue today with the qt-online-installer-windows-x64-4.8.1.exe

@JD86 hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you already try to use a different mirror ?

JD86

@SGaist yes I tried the one above in the thread

SGaist

There are others, please check with a different one.

JD86

@SGaist is there a list somewhere?

SGaist

@JD86 you have all the information on the installer wiki page.

@SGaist Thank you for your help! I found a way to make it work.
Have a nice day

@SGaist hello there, I have the same problem. I tried using every (literally) mirror from the available list (https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml.mirrorlist) and nothing worked. Every mirror gave me only extensions. What could be the issue?

@Steve-Purple Hi,

That is pretty strange. Are you installing Qt open source ?
