Be patient :-P
I think less people is in the DevNet these days due to events (Qt Dev Days San Francisco last week, MeeGo Conf next week) and/or vacations.

Well, I have no idea of what’s happening, since I don’t use Windows for a long time. The default recommendation would be ‘restart your machine, then try again’, but I suppose you already did that. If you think it is a bug in the SDK itself, i.e. not a Windows bug, fill a bug report [bugreports.qt.nokia.com] about it.

Let’s see if anyone else can help here too.

oh its ok then :)
Yea I have like tried everything. The only thing left is reinstall windows just to install qt sdk, and if that has to be done then its definitely a bug in qt sdk.
I hope when ppl come back they do have a look at this post and help me debug. I have dual boot fedora in this laptop but due to some other software I get to use windows more and it wud be really gud if this installation starts working.

Have you tried to just delete the NokiaQtSDK folder and reinstall? I ran into an issue once while uninstalling and this worked for me

Yes I have tried that also. Tried installing in another folder also. Tried installing in another partition too. Also cleared the temp folder in case something is wrong there with some previous installation files.

Hi, I am facing the same problem while installing it on my machine. But when I installed it on a colleague’s machine it worked like a charm. Now the difference is I already have older versions of SDK on my machine and colleague’s machine didn’t have any. Could that be the reason?

Try disabling your virus protection software during install.

Hi,

Thanks for suggestion, I just tried what you said. but that doesn’t work either. :(

Have you tried to figure out which process [technet.microsoft.com] is accessing qmake?

The output is

After some moments it showed same error again. Running handle again produces same output

This means that some piece of kernel mode code (driver, filter, service, …) is accessing the file.

Be sure that your virus protection software is really disabled – most products keep running even though disabled and need a restart or a complete removal for having them turned off.

If you can exclude your virus protection software my next bet would be the bloody Application Experience (or Application Compatibility Assistant) which can be disabled by group policy Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Application Compatibility and the Application Experience service.

Hi, I am not sure how to change the policies. But I uninstalled the AV and restarted the machine and re-ran the installer. I got the same error. What should I try next?

You can edit group policy objects using the Group Policy Editor (Windows + R, gpedit.msc).

I get “Windows can’t find gpedit.msc. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
I have Windows 7 Home Basic Edition. Does that have anything to do missing gpedit.msc?
I searched whole PC for gpedit.msc but found none! :(
