Thanks for pointing this out, we should update the README. You can't compile Qt Creator without private headers at all  anymore (on Windows).

Hard to say without more details (e.g. the filename).

You should do a custom build of Qt 4.7 , and build Qt Creator against this one. This is at least what most people do. (Well, actually most Qt Creator developers are using MSVC).

PS: There's a dedicated qt-creator mailing list too http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
PPS: We already released an RC for 2.3, and it's looking pretty good actually. If you don't have a specific reason to stick to 2.2.1 I suggest compiling from the 2.3 branch.
