Hi, I had a similar problem as you some time ago: I didn't want to run all offline installers on my build machine, copy the pdb's in manually and so on ...
My solution was pretty simple: I used the online installer to create an installation with everything I needed, and I simply copied the base folder of this installation to the build machine. Everything works perfectly for me as long as the folder location remains the same on both machines - the installers don't seem to do much but fix this absolute path in the installation. I also do the same thing with my own builds of Qt (copy from my build server to my development machine, keeping the INSTALL location) and never experienced any problems here. I am developing on Windows, not sure if this also works as smoothly on other operating systems. Best regards Markus Am Di., 7.
