Hi Ryan,

cmake can't find a compiler. You have to check if creator has 1. found aQt version 2. a compiler, and 3. a "Kit" which is a Qt/compiler combination.

When you have installed MS Studio you could also use Studio by opening a development shell, adding Qt's qmake to PATH, and simply call "cmake ..\kst"  in a build folder.
