No QtDesigner...

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello Geert,

thanks for sharing your solution. Please note, that the package mentioned by 
you is incomplete. Although it includes the linguist.exe tool to do 
translations, it is missing the lrelease.exe tool. In order to get complete 
support I recommend to install the Qt package available from "The Qt Company".
