Hi @ivec

Is it normal that I needed to select the compiler manually?

No. but please select the C compiler also.

And how can I enable the use of a debugger to step through my program?

You need to install the Debugging Tools for Windows, included in the Windows SDK. Due to licencing, this is not possible otherwise.

Regards

@SGaist You are totally right! Running a release program is totally possible in QtCreator in the run mode. I wanted to know if the stand alone program could be run when properly deployed.
