Description
QML does extra checks on Windows to make sure any path passed in is correctly capitalized. The installer does not yet take this into account, and e.g. installs the application happily to C:\qt\... even if there's a C:\Qt\... on the file system.
This has side effects for the installer:
- Qt Creator will be launched with wrong directory, and e.g. the welcome screen stays blank
- the binary QtQuick1/QtQuick examples get the 'wrong' path patched in, and do not launch any more
Easiest fix (apart from removing this stupid QtDeclarative/QtQml file case check) is to let the installer 'normalize' the path it uses right in the beginning. Qt Creator has following code to normalize paths:
QTCREATOR_UTILS_EXPORT QString getShortPathName(const QString &name) { if (name.isEmpty()) return name; // Determine length, then convert. const LPCTSTR nameC = reinterpret_cast<LPCTSTR>(name.utf16()); // MinGW const DWORD length = GetShortPathNameW(nameC, NULL, 0); if (length == 0) return name; QScopedArrayPointer<TCHAR> buffer(new TCHAR[length]); GetShortPathNameW(nameC, buffer.data(), length); const QString rc = QString::fromUtf16(reinterpret_cast<const ushort *>(buffer.data()), length - 1); return rc; } QTCREATOR_UTILS_EXPORT QString getLongPathName(const QString &name) { if (name.isEmpty()) return name; // Determine length, then convert. const LPCTSTR nameC = reinterpret_cast<LPCTSTR>(name.utf16()); // MinGW const DWORD length = GetLongPathNameW(nameC, NULL, 0); if (length == 0) return name; QScopedArrayPointer<TCHAR> buffer(new TCHAR[length]); GetLongPathNameW(nameC, buffer.data(), length); const QString rc = QString::fromUtf16(reinterpret_cast<const ushort *>(buffer.data()), length - 1); return rc; } // makes sure that capitalization of directories is canonical. // This mimics the logic in QDeclarative_isFileCaseCorrect QTCREATOR_UTILS_EXPORT QString normalizePathName(const QString &name) { QString canonicalName = getShortPathName(name); if (canonicalName.isEmpty()) return name; canonicalName = getLongPathName(canonicalName); if (canonicalName.isEmpty()) return name; // Upper case drive letter if (canonicalName.size() > 2 && canonicalName.at(1) == QLatin1Char(':')) canonicalName[0] = canonicalName.at(0).toUpper(); return canonicalName; }
