If you are using Visual C++ Express, the 2010 edition does not appear to 
include *.msm merge modules for C++ runtime redistributable.  That makes it 
impossible to build a .msi installer incorporating automatic dependency to C++ 
runtime.  At least I don't know how to get around this, please enlighten me if 
you know how.

Also, if you have Visual C++ Express 2008 installed, the QtSDK installer 
recognizes this and adds targets for it automatically in Qt Creator.

Additionally. if you are also using Python, via for example the excellent but 
rarely mentioned PythonQt, http://pythonqt.sourceforge.net/ , it is simpler to 
stick with VC 2008 as Python is also compiled with 2008, so you don't need to 
recompile that as well.

Just my 2 precious cents...
