[Interest] Qt5.6 not recognised by Visual Studio 2015

[Tom Isaacson]

The same problem existed before and after VS2015 Update 1. Also, the extention recognises Qt 5.5.1 with no problem so I was pretty sure it was a change in Qt 5.6.0 that caused this problem. I searched around and eventually found that in C:\Qt\Qt5.6.0\5.6\msvc2015\mkspecs\common\msvc-desktop.conf Qt 5.6.0 splits all the version-specific changes into a separate file msvc-base.conf. If you copy the contents of this file and replace the line "include(msvc-base.conf)" in mscv-desktop.conf then Qt5Package recognises the Qt 5.6.0 Beta with no problems.

Is there a reason this has been split into two files?

Please contact the maintainer of the "Qt5Package extension". At least on some other thread people stated that it is broken with VS2015 Update1, but I do not have any first level experience with that thing.
