Ok, found it... For those who are equally confused as I was initially,
here's the solution:
- Settings -> Preferences -> At -> Qt Tools
- Tools Directory -> Point to location of QtDesigner installation path
- No need to fill in anything in Qt-Prefix and Qt-Postfix fields on
Windows 10 (default is designer and the tool is automatically adding the
extension .exe to it)
Now you can open .ui files again...

Hi,
Using Eric6 20.5 installation, I wanted to experiment with GUI
applications. However, when trying to open the .ui file, I get the
following error:
I've read somewhere QtDesigner is not part of the standard PyQt5
package anymore, already for a while. So, I downloaded the
PyQt5Designer 5.14.1 using pip
(https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5Designer/#files).
The QtDesigner executable is installed in
..\Lib\site-packages\QtDesigner (why not in
..\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\....???) and works well when used individually.
But when I want to open the .ui file again in Eric6 (after restarting
Eric6), it still wants to see the designer.exe file inside
..\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin (which is _*not*_ the location where
the PyQt5Designer has installed designer.exe).
Question: is there a way to tell Eric6 to look for designer.exe in
another location?
