Qt Tools not found?

Hello,

I recently installed eric on Windows and Linux (details below) using the venv and pip procedures on the Installation page of the web site. The application seems to work well in both environments except when working on a PyQt6 GUI app. In that case, Qt Tools do not seem to be available. 

For example, when following the MiniBrowser tutorial, Qt Designer does not appear after the MainWindow file is created. "Open in Qt-Designer" is greyed out in the context menu. (This is also the case in any new PyQt6 GUI project.) 

Settings, Show External Tools displays:
    PyPl Package Management
        C:\Users\David\eric_env\Scripts\python.exe -m pip 26.1.1
    Qt Assistant    (not found)
    Qt Designer    (not found)
    Qt Help Tools  (not found)
    Qt Linguist      (not found)

Perhaps it is a path problem? I have tried various folders in Settings, Preferences, Qt, Qt Tools, Tools Directory, but without success. Any help you could provide would be appreciated,

Robert

eric installed in:
    Window 11 Home (25H2), Python 3.14.4, pip 26.1.1
    Debian 13 (Trixie), Python 3.13.5, pip 25.1.1
