We used to use the online installer when we were building up an SDK for our project but it just crashes most of the time on Windows so we switched to using the full download installer. We use CMake to drive the entire process including launching the Qt installer using a javascript file. (Better documentation for that would also be helpful). If you are curious as to our use case you can see it here:

If I can go back to using the online installer (must work on Windows 10 (pro)/8/7) which would install the PDB files that would be great. Can you package the PDB files using an installer like for Qt itself? At least that would make the installation go much quicker and easier.

Hi,
I totally agree with you here, that was the reason for creating https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-67587. So if you both would leave a comment/vote on that report someone might look into this mess.
Post by Michael JacksonI don't think I remember ever having to do this with Visual Studio but I'll bite.
The change that introduced this behavior is relative new and would also effect a setup with visual studio, because the symbol files are also missing there. "offline installer would be too big with PDB files & we just can't create it" was the statement. BTW: The online installer is not affected by this.

I ended up getting them installed (clunky way to install them) and then created a rule set in CMake to copy them to my local binary directory of the app that I am compiling.
Maybe instead of packaging them as a single archive of a single folder it would be better to create the proper sub-folders then create the archive. I had to individually select each .7z file for VS2017 and decompress them. Would be easier, I would think, to just be able to decompress the archive as it sites in Qt5.10.1/5.10.1 folder and everything gets put into the proper location.

Mine are in the Qt installation (the one that my Creator kit points to), in
the bin\ folder, right along side the Qt5 .dll files.
Post by Michael JacksonI don't think I remember ever having to do this with Visual Studio but I'll bite. So I downloaded the pdb zip file? I have Qt 5.10.1 with VS2017 x64. Where do I install the pdb files? My build dir? Or somewhere in the Qt5 installation?
Thanks

Ah! That was indeed the problem (and hopefully Micheal's as well). My debug\
folder had Qt5 DLLs sitting in it, because I mistakenly assumed they had to be
there in order for debugging to work. When I deleted them, Creator used the
kit path, and found the *.pdb file it needed. I can now see QStrings.
This was pilot error. Creator was not at fault. Sorry for the noise.
Post by David SchulzHi,
cdb can't find the pdb file for W:\Dev\Personal\Projects\Qt\Skoop\client\debug\Qt5Cored.dll. Do you know where that file is on your hard disk?
And please create a bug report for this issue, so we can move the discussion to jira.
Greetings
David

Post by David SchulzHi,
I've checked 4.6.2 and 4.7 with a Qt based on msvc 2017 WindowsSDKVersion 10.0.17134.0 and I get sensible dumper values in the locals and expression view.
Can you share the content of the debugger log (Window > Views > Debugger Log) on your codepaster of choice?
Greetings
David

So only Michael and I are experiencing this? Or is that only Michael and I are using 4.6.2 on Windows?
Post by Michael JacksonI also just happened to setup QtCreator 4.6.2 and I had the same issue. Latest VS2017 release running on Windows 10 x64.

I have installed Creator 4.6.2 (normally, I use 4.0.3) and have started a new
project with it. Prior to installing it, I already had Visual Studio 2017
15.4.7 installed, along with Windows SDK v10.1.17134.12 with "Debugging Tools
for Windows". Creator 4.6.2 automatically found the debugging tools, and I
reconfigured my Kits accordingly for use with Qt 5.9.4 Desktop (which I built
myself using Visual Studio 2017, so they are ABI compatible).
I'm debugging into my Qt application, and I'm getting "not accessible" the
Locals pane for QString and QStringList. Was there some further set-up I
needed to perform? I don't recall having this issue with 4.0.3.
