Hi, I totally agree with you here, that was the reason for creating https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-67587. So if you both would leave a comment/vote on that report someone might look into this mess.
> I don't think I remember ever having to do this with Visual Studio but I'll bite. The change that introduced this behavior is relative new and would also effect a setup with visual studio, because the symbol files are also missing there. "offline installer would be too big with PDB files & we just can't create it" was the statement. BTW: The online installer is not affected by this.

I ended up getting them installed (clunky way to install them) and then created a rule set in CMake to copy them to my local binary directory of the app that I am compiling. Maybe instead of packaging them as a single archive of a single folder it would be better to create the proper sub-folders then create the archive. I had to individually select each .7z file for VS2017 and decompress them. Would be easier, I would think, to just be able to decompress the archive as it sites in Qt5.10.1/5.10.1 folder and everything gets put into the proper location. -- Michael Jackson | Owner, President BlueQuartz Software [e] mike.jack...@bluequartz.net [w] www.bluequartz.net <http://www.bluequartz.net> On 7/14/18, 6:02 PM, "Bob Hood" <bho...@comcast.net> wrote: Mine are in the Qt installation (the one that my Creator kit points to), in the bin\ folder, right along side the Qt5 .dll files.
