This happens, if the environment variable QTDIR is not defined. As an 
alternative you can configure the path to your Qt installation in the 
configuration dialog Qt page. After a restart of the IDE, Qt related menu 
entries (like compile form) should be available in the context menus of the 
various project browser tabs.
