      As @Christian-Ehrlicher pointed out: if you built your Qt instance from source, then you need to reconfigure it to include the Web Engine components, rebuild, and reinstall.
      If, as @SGaist has assumed, you installed your entire Qt from the online installer, then you need to run the Maintenance Tool, select the missing component(s), and let it install them for you.

      The error message you posted seems to indicate that you are trying to install Qt using the online installer on top of an existing self-built Qt. You cannot add a component to an existing self-built Qt using the Qt Online installer. To install a completely new Qt instance you need to install into a fresh directory.

        Is Qt Online Installer still running? If so close it and try again.
        If it does not help delete that file manually.

          I've removed all components with Maintenance tool, then reinstalled
          Qt and Web engine with online installer

          Trying to compile sample project:

          QT += widgets webenginewidgets
          CONFIG += c++17
          SOURCES += main.cpp
          
          #include <QApplication>
          #include <QWebEngineView>
          #include <QUrl>
          
          int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
              QApplication app(argc, argv);
          
              QWebEngineView view;
              view.resize(1200, 800);
              view.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("https://www.qt.io")));
              view.show();
          
              return app.exec();
          }
          

          getting error:
          :-1: error: Unknown module(s) in QT: webchannel positioning

          Kindly advise!

            Same: did you install these two modules?

                @JacobNovitsky If you are using the Qt version from the online installer, you have to add these dependencies from the online installer as well...

                Or just use the Qt version from your distribution. However you cannot mix and match.

                    @JacobNovitsky You should install these libraries for the Qt version you're using.
                    You wrote:

                    Doesn't that mean that you now need to install these modules using Qt Maintenance Tool from that Qt installation?

                            @JacobNovitsky when you say all modules installed:

                            • from the same source ?
                            • are you using the Qt version with all the modules installed to build your application ?
