      Qt versions to be configured (official packages):
      Qt 5.2.1 (No OpenGL) for MSVC2010
      Qt 5.3.1 OpenGL for MSVC2010

      I admit that this issue seems like an unimportant corner case. Nevertheless, let me report it for the chance that it might appear in other situations, too. In addition, I'd really appreciate a fix because with our test automation we run directly into this corner case.

      To reproduce:

      1. Start a Creator built on Qt 4.8.6 with an empty settings directory.
      2. In "Tools" -> "Options..." -> "Build & Run" -> "Qt versions", add the Qt versions 5.2.1 and 5.3.1, see "Environment".
      3. Click "OK" and close Creator.
      4. Delete helpcollection.qhc from Creator's settings directory.
      5. Start the same Creator again.
        Creator will crash.

      Found when adding a Qt 5.3.1 kit to our Squish setup.
