Creating a new Qt project with Qt VS Tools on Visual Studio 2019 throws a project error

johnratius

I have installed several versions of Qt VS Tools including the most recent, 2.20, 2.51, and others. With the latest version, the extension crashed when I added a new Qt version in the extension's options. I went with an older version and I could finally add Qt versions. Here is a picture of the settings. Image of Qt Versions in Qt VS Tools extension Whenever I create a new Qt project in VS 2019, I get this error:

The following error occurred: Error reading VS project settings

Currently, the extension is at version 2.5.2.1. I would try to change the type of compiler in the project, but it doesn't generate a project to begin with.
What can I do to solve this?

Other information:
VS 2019 v 16.7.0
VSI v 2.7.3061.716
Qt VS Tools v 2.5.2.1

I am facing the same problem using Qt 5.12.4 and msvc2019.

The following error occurred: Error reading VS project settings.

Does anyone have a solution for that? I tried reinsalling VS, didnt work.
Tried different qt vs tools didnt work.
Any information is appreciated, thanks!
