First I installed Android Studio. When it started I set an option to create the application with Native C++ support and Android NDK was automatically installed to C:\Users\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle, also I added Android-19 API level and somehow CMake was installed to C:\Users\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\cmake\3.6.4111459. Then in QT Creator I opened Tools->Options->Devices->Android and specified the following paths:
I am not sure it is a correct way, but I was able to do this:
git clone --recursive https://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git --branch v5.10.1
and all the submodules were checked out with commit hashes tag v5.10.1 points to:
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout. ... Submodule path 'qt3d': checked out '31f424bb81cd2583920d3d521e1e01f01c2d28e2' ...
If in some Visual Studio solution a .NET project references a C++ project that implements a COM server then the following command can be used in Post-Build Event of the C++ project to generate .NET wrapper for COM:
"$(TargetFrameworkSDKToolsDirectory)tlbimp.exe" "$(TargetPath)" /verbose /strictref /asmversion=$(Version) /out:"$(TargetDir)$(TargetName)Lib.dll"
In VS2015 by default this command will generate .NET 4.0 assembly. To generate .NET 2.0 assembly, the following command can be used:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\TlbImp.exe" "$(TargetPath)" /verbose /strictref /asmversion=$(Version) /out:"$(TargetDir)$(TargetName)Lib.dll"
I am not sure that changing TargetFrameworkVersion attribute in PropertyGroup Label=”Globals” element of the project file can help here, so it is not clear how to get rid of absolute path.
Also it is impossible to add a reference to a TLB or EXE file to .NET assembly, so using TLB generated by MIDL directly is not an option (MIDL->Output page of C++ project using $(OutDir)$(TargetName).tlb as Type Library name).
There is new option ‘-AllUsers’ in Windows 10 1709 so ‘LinesGame’ APPX package, for example, can be removed for all users with the following command:
Get-AppxPackage -all *lines* Get-AppxPackage -all *lines* | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers
the first line outputs this:

WIX bootstrapper application (BA) can easily determine if it runs as admin with the following code:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Security.Principal;
static bool IsAdmin()
{
WindowsIdentity id = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
WindowsPrincipal principal = new WindowsPrincipal(id);
return principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);
}
and if it does not, run a new instance as admin and exit:
static void RunAsAdmin()
{
ProcessStartInfo proc = new ProcessStartInfo
{
UseShellExecute = true,
WorkingDirectory = Environment.CurrentDirectory,
FileName = Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName,
Verb = "runas"
};
Process.Start(proc);
}
Below I provided the source code of WIX installer that shows the license, installation directory and runs custom actions on install and uninstall:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

...
</Wix>
MyService is project referenced by my wixproj in VS2015. If Impersonate=”yes” the command is run as the current user, if “no”, the command is run as “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM“. INSTALLFOLDER is defined as follows:
If Android support is enabled in MS VS2015, it installs Android SDK without Google Play Services and I did not find an option in SDK Manager that installs them. When I started “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\SDK Manager.exe” with admin privileges, it automatically offered to install some 9 packages:
I wrote a sample application using OsgQtQuick that shows the Earth in two views:
with the following QML, that I copied from OsgQtQuick samples:
QT 5.13 supports SplitView and TableView but without TableHeader yet. Probably TableHeader can be implemented with the overlays. And there is an interesting example of implementation of table header with the source code.
The information provided below is outdated.
Qt Quick Controls 2 does not support TableView and looks like they are not going to support it, some notable missing features from Qt Quick Controls 1 also are Action, SplitView and TreeView, so the following QML code would not work:
TableView {
TableViewColumn {
role: "time"
title: qsTr("date/time:")
width: parent.width - 30
}
TableViewColumn {
role: "score"
title: qsTr("result:")
width: 30
}
model: boardModel.list
ScrollIndicator.vertical: ScrollIndicator { }
}
But there is a solution with ListView, so there can be something like this:
If QAudioDecoder does not decode mp3, reporting a format error (GStreamer; Unable to start decoding process), the following package can help:
On Ubuntu:
apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
On CentOS:
yum -y install http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
yum install gstreamer{,1}-plugins-ugly
