This looks like you are trying to use an existing build directory?

Check the CMakeCache.txt file in there: That should contain a CMAKE_GENERATOR,
which apparently is not the one you set up creator to use.

Try with a fresh build directory or try to match up the generator set up in
Creator and the one used in your build directory.
