Description
Tried installing Qt 6.2 using the maintenance tool as follows:
- Create a new folder
- Copy all the maintenance tool files into the new folder
- Run maintenancetool.exe
- Select LTS and Qt 6.2, no other options
- Aftewards tried Qt 5.15, no LTS, only default optionsAfter a long time, an error message appears (this one is for 5.15, except for path, the message for Qt 6 is the same)

Installer Error
---------------------------
Error during installation process (qt.qt5.5151.win32_msvc2019):
Cannot start: "E:/EM/Qt/6.2\/Tools/QtCreator\bin\sdktool.exe addQt --id qt.qt5.5151.win32_msvc2019 --name Qt %{Qt:Version} MSVC2019 32bit --type Qt4ProjectManager.QtVersion.Desktop --qmake E:/EM/Qt/6.2/5.15.1/msvc2019/bin/qmake.exe": Process failed to start: The system cannot find the file specified.
---------------------------
Retry Ignore Cancel
--------------------------- - Looked in the specified folder. The folder QtCreator/share is present, but no bin folder, and consequently no tools/sdkkit.exe
- The message appeared many times, once or twice for each kit (it seems). I chose Ignore each time.
Suggestions:
- Don't stop the installation with a dialog. Log it to file, and present an error dialog at the end. I had to sit standby for a very long time just to Ignore these. Keep the file user-readable.
- If the user presses Cancel, please ask for confirmation. I pressed cancel in another program, but the Qt error popped out in front of the other program exactly then, and I had to restart installation.
- If you have any idea how long an installation will take, then tell the user up front.
- You check the disk usage before allowing the user to start the installation. You use a lot of temp storage, but doesn't check that the temp disk has sufficient storage! Mine got full before completion, so I had to set the TEMP and TMP environment variables to a larger disk just to run the installation.
