No QtDesigner...

[Geert Vancompernolle]

Ok, found it...  For those who are equally confused as I was initially, 
here's the solution:

- Settings -> Preferences -> At -> Qt Tools

- Tools Directory -> Point to location of QtDesigner installation path

- No need to fill in anything in Qt-Prefix and Qt-Postfix fields on 
Windows 10 (default is designer and the tool is automatically adding the 
extension .exe to it)

Now you can open .ui files again...
