    Description

      What are the requirements for the generators to appear?

      I have not used QBS before and I just downloaded the 1.9.1 windows zip from the qt website.

      I get the following result:

      E:\test>qbs generate
      Restoring build graph from disk
      Building for configuration default
      Build done for configuration default.
      ERROR: No generator specified. Available generators:
      
      
      E:\test>
      

      Here are the profiles currently set up:

      E:\test>qbs config --list
      defaultProfile: "qt5"
      profiles.MSVC2017-x64.cpp.compilerVersion: "19.11.25506"

      Noticing that QtCreator (Version: 4.3.1) came with QBS (Version 1.8.1), I attempted to run that version instead:

      E:\test>D:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\qbs.exe generate
      No build graph exists yet for this configuration.
      Resolving project for configuration default
      ERROR: Error: Could not start cl.exe (Process failed to start: No such file or directory)
      

      And again once starting in a visual studio x64 native command prompt:

      E:\test>D:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\qbs.exe generate
      No build graph exists yet for this configuration.
      Resolving project for configuration default
      Setting up build graph for configuration default
      Building for configuration default
      Build done for configuration default.
      ERROR: No generator specified. Available generators:
              clangdb
              visualstudio2010
              visualstudio2012

              visualstudio2015
      
      E:\test>
      

      Do I have to install the generators for 1.9.1? Or is there something about setting up the visual studio command prompt that enables the generators? (I can't get the same result in 1.9.1).

      Not sure if relevant: I have the following Visual C++ redistributables installed:
      2008x86/2012x86/2012x64/2013x86/2013x64/2017x86/2017x64 (note- I do not have a 2015 installed on this machine).
