Hi @Nigel, welcome to the forum 🙂

There’s a recent and very similar question to this [here](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/problem-building-qgc-in-visual-studio-using-qt/10751) which is likely relevant. In particular,

> [@Problem Building QGC in Visual Studio using QT](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/problem-building-qgc-in-visual-studio-using-qt/10751/2):
>
> Have you followed the [getting started instructions](https://dev.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/getting_started/) exactly?  
> QGC has very strict build requirements, so if you’re using an incorrect version of Visual Studio or Qt it likely won’t work. Also make sure you’ve [updated the submodules](https://dev.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/getting_started/#:~:text=git%20submodule%20update%20--recursive) in your cloned source directory, otherwise some of the required code will be missing.

If that and the other comments in that topic don’t solve the issue, please follow up with what you’ve tried so far and the error message(s) you’re receiving, so we can try to help figure out what’s not set up correctly 🙂
