Trying to run Designer

Hello!
I want to try Qt with VS 2010. Thus I downloaded the sources and compiled them (on a VS x64 command prompt with configure -platform win32-msvc2010 -no-qt3support & nmake). It seems like it worked (got no errors and a lot libs and dlls where created)

My problem: When I go into the qt bin folder and try to start Designer.exe the program instantly crashes (with the typical "you want to send a report to microsoft? window).
I can start qtdemo.exe, and most of the demos start. But many of them crash too when I click on certain contrails. For example I can launch Layouts->Dynamic Layouts application, but when I click on the orientation combobox the program crashes.
Do I have to do another step after configure & nmake to use Qt?

Oh, another thing: In the Qt lib folder are all the import libs .lib and .dll files. Don't I have to copy all the DLLs into a Win32 system folder to make them accessible for all apps?
Thanks

If you want to try Qt with VS what do you need Creator for? You just need to get the Qt VS Add-In. Get it here: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/visual-studio-add-in. I have this plugin running fine on my VS2010 installation, along side this: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/windows-cpp-vs2008.

Where did I say I want to use Creator? I want to use the DESIGNER.
Moreover if so many Qt apps don't work its an indicator that Qt isn't fully "installed" yet. So I have to fix it anyway.

Ah sorry, my bad then :) Just install the two links from my previous post, and it will work. You can recompile Qt if you want. Did so and it still works perfectly.

I don't understand how the VS 2008 plugin can be related to my problem.

I build the Qt libs and binaries (Designer.exe etc.) from the sources without any errors. So the Designer, Creater etc. should work now - but they don't work.
Why would a Plugin for VS magically solve this problem?

Edit: I just installed the VS Addin and then the VS2008 package. I installed the VS 2008 package to D:\Qt and all the Executables in D:\Qt are running (the designer.exe etc.). I also tried to make a little sample application in VS 2010 and it also worked.
The Binares in the folder where I manually built everything still don't work and I just deleted them. I still have no idea why they did not work even though everything build without an error, but since I can develop now I guess I should not care^^
