Qt webenginewidgets troubleshoots

I'm using Qt Creator 4.10.1 in Windows 7 ( Qt version 5.13.1 (MSVC 2017, 32 bit) ). I'm triying to make a navigator app for Windows. When I try to use the " webenginewidgets " in my *.pro file and execute the qmake I have this error " Unknown module in QT : webenginewidgets ". I verrified if the " Webkit" is installed in the QT directory, it is. some proposed to use the MSVC 2013 at least. I have MSVC 2015 and 2017 installed and do have a VS 2017 installed in my laptop ( but I see an exclamation point beside it in the Tools/Options/kits/QT versions and a message that this compiler can't produce any code for this QT version" , only MSVC 2015 32bits and MINGW work correctlly).

my *.pro file: 

FORMS += \
    mainwindow.ui

HEADERS += \
    mainwindow.h

SOURCES += \
    main.cpp \
    mainwindow.cpp

QT += widgets webenginewidgets

CONFIG += c++11

the error I'm getting " Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets "

here are some images to help you to understand:

MainWindow.cpp enter image description here

Qt versions enter image description here

Can any one propose a solution or guide me to find one?

Best regards.

You need to makes sure you are compiling with MSVC 2017 or MSVC 2019. If you configured Qt with an older Windows compiler, QtWebEngine is just going to be skipped. The reason being that Chromium uses C++14, and only the latest version of VS2017 and up supports that.

Edit: For older versions of Qt like 5.9, MSVC 2015 also compiles QtWebEngine, but MSVC 2013 does not.
