Could not start Qt-designer

On windows7 64bits, I just installed Eric6 in this way :

I tried to follow their first tutorial LogParser on https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/tutorials/LogParser/chap2.html

When coming to create LogParser.ui I get the following error :

Could not start Qt-designer Ensure that it is available as ...Python36\lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin\designer.exe

When checking there is a folder: C:\Users\Gustav\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin But its not containg any exe file

Any help would be nice !

I managed to install QT Designer as follows (as a stand-alone application, not using Eric IDE):

  1. Install latest QT (I'm using 5.8) from QT main site
  2. Make sure you include "Qt 5.8 MinGW" component
  3. QT Designer will be installed in C:\Qt\5.8\mingw53_32\bin\designer.exe
  4. Note that the executable is named "designer.exe"
