OK. I still did not get ... if this is error how Qt company managed to build Qt with msvc2013.
Qt company used some configure flag which skips compiling of "directx 3d 12.0 scenegraph" implementation in qtdeclarative?
What flag is that?

So you are saying that it is possible to compile Qt only with some special version of Win10SDK which goes with vs2015 upd3, right?

Mmm ... what patch do you mean? Do you know why compiler version vs2017rc solved the problem for you?
