theses are steps I followed to debug i.e. you can check with all the requirement.

  1. Install Visual Studio 2017 64-bit: Download and install Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition or a higher edition that supports 64-bit compilation. Make sure you select the necessary components during installation, including the C++ development tools.
  2. Configure Qt Creator: Once you have Visual Studio 2017 installed, you need to configure your Qt Creator to use the correct toolchain. Open Qt Creator, go to “Tools” > “Options” > “Kits”. Select the appropriate Kit that you want to use (likely a 64-bit version) and make sure it’s associated with the Visual Studio 2017 compiler.
  3. Clean Build: After making these changes, try cleaning your QGC project and rebuilding it. Sometimes, issues can arise from old build artifacts or incorrect settings.
  4. Check QGC Documentation: Make sure you are following the QGC build instructions provided in their official documentation. The documentation may include specific steps or considerations for setting up the build environment on Windows.
  5. QGC Community: If you continue to encounter issues, it’s a good idea to seek help from the QGC community forums or GitHub repository. Other developers who are familiar with the QGC build process might be able to provide specific guidance or troubleshooting steps.

I’m happy to hear that we are working on same project.

I just successfully build the desktop version using Visual Studio 2019 as mentioned in the docs and then installed Qt.

Note: The Desktop version build on Windows appears to be working fine.
However, I also build a Linux Desktop version on a Linux system (KUbuntu 22.04) whilst it appears to work at first glance it will not accept any input in the Application Settings page. - Crashes instantly when clicking on any line other than the drop-down options.
