<h2>Qt Deployment - Archived Versions - Guide</h2>
52+
<hr>
53+
54+
<h3>Introduction</h3>
55+
<ul>
56+
<p>As of March 2024 <strong>Qt 5.15.2</strong> is no longer available from mainstream installer repositories.</p>
57+
<p>This does not mean that it is gone and that one cannot install it any more.</p>
58+
<p>The Qt Maintainers offer a facility whereby archived versions of their software can be obtained from selected servers.</p>
59+
<p>This guide details how to deploy Qt from Archive. It is based on a primary document stored at <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib-sdk/files/JTware-Deployment/Deploying-Archived-Versions-of-Qt-via-Maintenance-Tool.docx">https://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib-sdk/files/JTware-Deployment/Deploying-Archived-Versions-of-Qt-via-Maintenance-Tool.docx</a> .</p>
60+
<p>Note: This guide assumes that a version of Qt i.e. <strong>Qt 6.2.2 </strong>is deployed.</p>
61+
</ul>
62+
63+
64+
<hr>
65+
<h2>Deployment</h2>
66+
<hr>
67+
68+
<h3>Step 1: Start the Qt Maintenance Tool</h3>
69+
70+
<ul>
71+
<p>The Qt Maintenance Tool <strong>MaintenanceTool.exe</strong> should be able to be found in your Qt deployment directory</p>
72+
<ul>
73+
<li>Open a Windows Terminal (it does not matter if it is <strong>CMD.EXE</strong> or <strong>PowerShell Terminal</strong>) i.e Start / Terminal</li>
74+
<li>Enter the command: <strong>./MaintenanceTool.exe</strong></li>
75+
</ul>
76+
</ul>
77+
<h3>Step 2: Log in with your Qt Account</h3>
78+
<ul>
79+
<p>You should be presented with a screen similar to that shown below:</p>
80+
</ul>
81+
<p ><img src="Qt-Step-2.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
82+
<table width="*" align="center" border="1">
83+
<tr>
84+
<td class="custd">If you do not have a Qt Account then please sign up for one by clicking <strong>Sign Up</strong></td>
85+
</tr>
86+
</table>
87+
<ul>
88+
<ul>
89+
<li>Enter Your Password</li>
90+
<li>Click <strong>Next</strong></li>
91+
</ul>
92+
</ul>
93+
94+
<h3>Step 3: Add or Remove Components</h3>
95+
96+
<ul>
97+
<p>You should be presented with a screen similar to that shown below:</p>
98+
</ul>
99+
<p ><img src="Qt-Step-3a.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
100+
<ul>
101+
<ul>
102+
<li>Ensure that <strong>Add or remove programs</strong> is selected</li>
103+
<li>Click <strong>Next</strong></li>
104+
</ul>
105+
<p>The Qt installer will now download components from its pool repository.</p>
106+
</ul>
107+
<p ><img src="Qt-Step-3b.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
108+
<ul>
109+
<p>The Qt Maintenance Tool fetches update info for code released through mirrors …</p>
110+
<p>This is inadequate for us as it does not necessarily provide versions that we require.</p>
111+
<p>Wait until the metadata is completely loaded into the system.</p>
112+
</ul>
113+
114+
<h3>Step 4: Select the "Archive" Check Box</h3>
115+
116+
<ul>
117+
<p>You should be presented with a screen similar to that shown below:</p>
118+
</ul>
119+
<p ><img src="Qt-Step-4a.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
120+
<ul>
121+
<ul>
122+
<li>Click “Archive” (circled in yellow)</li>
123+
<li>Click “Filter”</li>
124+
</ul>
125+
<p>This loads “Archive Repository” information into the Installer/Maintenance Tool</p>
126+
</ul>
127+
<p><img src="Qt-Step-4b.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
128+
<ul>
129+
<p>It may take a few minutes do download the metadata and to contact/test sites where these “archived” deployments can be obtained from.</p>
130+
</ul>
131+
132+
<h3>Step 5: Select the Archived Version of Qt that you want to Deploy</h3>
133+
<ul>
134+
<p>In this example we will refer to Qt 5.15.2:</p>
135+
</ul>
136+
<p ><img src="Qt-Step-5a.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
137+
<ul>
138+
<ul>
139+
<li>Expand “Qt” as shown</li>
140+
</ul>
141+
</ul>
142+
<p><img src="Qt-Step-5b.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
143+
<ul>
144+
<ul>
145+
<li>Scroll down to “Developer and Designer Tools”</li>
146+
<li>Select the version that you want. i.e Select &ldquo;5.15.2&rdquo; (as shown). It is best at this stage to select EVERY component. </li>
147+
</ul>
148+
</ul>
149+
<p><img src="Qt-Step-5c.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
150+
<ul>
151+
<ul>
152+
<li>Scroll down to &ldquo;Developer and Designer Tools&rdquo;</li>
153+
<li>Ensure that the MinGW 8.1.0 32 bit and MinGW 8.1.0 64-bit support tools environments are selected (as shown)</li>
154+
<li>The Next Button should be activated when you make any change. Click this button.</li>
155+
</ul>
156+
</ul>
157+
158+
<p ><img src="Qt-Step-5d.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
159+
<ul>
160+
<ul>
161+
<li>Click Update.</li>
162+
</ul>
163+
</ul>
164+
<img src="Qt-Step-5e.jpg" alt="" width="940" height="624" class="center"/></p>
165+
<ul>
166+
<p>Updates should now occur (Note a Version 6.6.2 update progress is shown in this example).</p>
167+
<ul>
168+
<li>Click 'Finish' when complete (Not shown).</li>
169+
</ul>
170+
</ul>
171+
172+
<h3>Complete</h3>
173+
<ul>
174+
<p>Once complete your archived deploy should now be available.</p>
175+
</ul>
