It has never been required for me, for any version of Visual Studio I've 
installed from 2005 to 2015 inclusive. As long as the compiler is properly 
installed, Qt Creator can find it.

Installing the compiler is off-topic. If you can't create an application with 
your toolchain without using Qt and Qt Creator, adding Qt and Qt Creator to 
the mix won't solve the issue. You need to fix the toolchain first.

Indeed, when you tried to see if you could, Visual Studio offered to install 
the compiler for you.
