Qt deploy cannot find Visual Studio installation directory

I'm having a problem with Qt Deployment:

After a windeployqt App.exe, it returns

Adding Qt5Svg for qsvgicond.dll
Direct dependencies: Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5SerialPort Qt5Widgets
All dependencies   : Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5SerialPort Qt5Widgets
To be deployed     : Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5SerialPort Qt5Svg Qt5Widgets
Warning: Cannot find Visual Studio installation directory, VCINSTALLDIR is not set.

(I have to use the Qt 5.12.2 (MSVC 2017 64-bit) console, in the windows powershell the command windeployqt isn't found).

It doesn't deploy the msvc dll. How can I set VCINSTALLDIR?

Someone can help me? Thanks a lot

You may have an environment variable path set for Visual Studio only. What you need to do is add a path to your Qt\6.x.x\mingw_64\bin directory where that particular windeploy.exe exists. Set that in your path above your VS path and you should be good to go.

What worked for me was to use VS's command prompt instead of Qt's one. Specifically I had to use VS2017 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt instead of Qt 5.12.12 (MSVC 2017 64-bit), although the precise versions will vary. Using VS's command prompt windeployqt.exe was able to find VC and deploy the correct vcredist_x64.exe.

For VS2019 Community VCINSTALLDIR is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC. Add to system variables and restart Visual Studio.
