I hope this isn't off topic here as I thnk it's about the maintenance tool and
not QtCreator directly.
I ran the maintenance tool to update Qt creator to the current version, then
installed Qt 5.5. Both seemed to run ok but now when I run the maintenance
tool I get a dialog saying:
"Your installation seems to be corrupted. Please consider re-installing from
scratch" When I click ok, it continues and seems to work.
Both QtCreator and Qt5.5 seem to have been installed.
The most probable meaning of that message is that the Maintenance tool found
that it installed something, but afterwards did not find uninstall instructions
for some of the packages that it installed.
Meaning that you most probably will run into problems the next time an update
comes (or some later update), because it will not uninstall the package before
installing the new version, resulting in stale files lying around.
It looks like it's something to do with android for arm with Qt 5.5. I don't
build for android so I unchecked these with the install. I reverted my virtual
machine and tried installing with them selected but had the same thing.
As an aside, the popup is telling me to reinstall from scratch but if I try to
uninstall, this fails. Is it telling me to reinstall all from scratch?
Is this the online installer or the offline installer?
Is this a first time install in that directory of your VM, or do you update an
existing installation with the online installer?
As I said, the message means that it is probable that uninstallation fails.
That should definitely not happen with the offline installers or fresh online
installations. If you update an existing online installation it might happen
because the installer had a bug which it cannot revive from (lost uninstall
info is lost).
I believe it's the online installer. My latest working build of Qt is 5.3.
It's when I try to install a 5.5 that this happens.
Then you need to do a complete reinstall. Just remove the previous install
directory with your favorite file system tool.

Ok. BTW, how do I install the maintenance tool for a fresh install? Or
do I need to go online and download/install QtCreator to get that?
