    Description

      [REG 5.8->5.9]: When opening a pro file with a Qt 5.9 version it will not be able to create the vcxproj file. This happens with any version of MSVC and any Qt 5.9.x version because it will output:

      [1] - C:/QT/5.9/MSVC2015_64/mkspecs/features/toolchain.prf:129: Variable QMAKE_CXX.COMPILER_MACROS is not defined. 
[2] - Project ERROR: msvc-version.conf loaded but QMAKE_MSC_VER isn't set

      This is due to recent changes in qmake, specifically toolchain.prf which now depends on being able to detect the compiler on the system. Something which doesn't seem to succeed inside the VS IDE.
