Hallo QTians.,
I am a newbie in QT having problem running my first projet, the first helloworld lesson in QT tutorial.

I am working under windows XP., and open Qt 4.1.0

Please look at the dos output , it says error in processing.

But while logging in as administrator., the problem doesnot occur and I could run the program without any errors.

Can anybody help what the exat problem could be??

I'm having the same issue as Fiz. "Error processing meta file..." I do not have problems logged in as Admin, but as a Power User I get the error. I believe my environment variables are set correctly, and am using The Qt command console provided by Qt 4.2.1.

Anybody??

Hi

I have the same problem. The local administrator account works fine. However, ordinary domain user account have the problem. I played a lot with NTFS permissions. to no avail. Why is it not simple?

Let's keep in touch

Did anyone solve the problem meanwhile?
I got the same problem with vista.
It seams I can solve the problem by not installing qt in "program files" folder. But I would prever to keep it there...

hello vitoing,
your problem seams to be a little different: There is nothing about the
Error processing meta file - Error

Locks as if your .pro file is not found.
D:/$Develop/learning/CDT/MyProjectQtGui/MyProjectQtGui.pro
I dont know what $Develop is. Locks like a variable.
Where on your harddisk is your MyProjectQtGui.pro. It should fit to the path above somehow.

Hi drewle,

you're right. The problem is in the file path.
"$Develop" in not a variable but is the name of directory,
of course the worst name I could have choosen.
So D:/$Develop/learning/CDT/MyProjectQtGui/MyProjectQtGui.pro is
really the path of the file but I guess QT tries to resolve $Develop
as unix-like shell variable.

Moved the code in c:\CDT/MyProjectQtGui/MyProjectQtGui.pro
everything works well.

thanks a lot.
