LNK1158 cannot run 'rc.exe'

I installed Qt Creator with mingw and msvc2015 binaries.
To have the compiler fpr msvc2015 I installed VS 2017 community inkluding support for msvc2015.



However when I try to compile in Qt Creator I get the error




LNK1158 cannot run 'rc.exe'




What went wrong in the installation? Which files do I need to reinstal to fix this?



The PATH in QtCreator contains the folder



C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0VCBINamd64_x86;
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0VCBINamd64;
C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10binx64;
C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10binx86;


But the rc.exe is only in



C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10bin10.0.16299.0x64
C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10bin10.0.16299.0x86
C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10bin10.0.17134.0...

  • There are too many rc.exe to copy under `C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits`. Which is the correct one? I tried to solve it as in the answer. But it did not work.
