Oh, okay, that also answers my previous question how you generate the Visual Studio Project files (with qmake obvioulsy). Sorry, it's early here ;)

Anyway, what about a simple "Hello Qt" program? Try compiling one of the Qt example programs. Also try using the Visual Studio Qt Integration/AddOn (in case you are not using the Visual Studio *Express* version, which does not support plugins), if possible, as to create a Qt project from scratch. Would that make a difference?

If it works with the VS Qt Integration plugin and a simple "Hello Qt" (which also contains some moc'ing steps etc.), it would track down the culprit in the Visual Studio compiler settings which are set by qmake -t vcapp.

Oh, and really double-check that you are using the right version of qmake (check with qmake -v), so you don't mix up qmake from Qt 4.5.0 with the library Qt 4.5.2 - you never know.

Cheers, Oliver
