    • Bug
    • Resolution: Done
    • P2: Important
    • 5.11.0
    • 5.10.0
    • Build tools: qmake
    • None
    • Windows 10
      Visual Studio 2017
      Windows 10 SDK (10.0.16299.0)
      Windows 8.1 SDK *NOT* installed
      QMAKE_XSPEC: win32-msvc

    Description

      Running qmake -tp vc (e.g. on the "wiggly" example) on Windows 10 with the SDK 8.1 not installed and then building the generated project on VS 2017 will result in the following error:

      The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution".

      This is only an issue with Qt for Win32. With a WinRT build, qmake sets the WindowsTargetPlatformVersion property to the Windows 10 SDK version and the error does not occur.
