I am trying to use Qt in Visual Studio 2019. I installed the extension "Qt VS tools" in VS and added my Qt path. I created a new Qt Gui Application project in VS. Without changing anything I get the error
== Qt Visual Studio Tools version 2.4.2
Initialized in: 14169,6 msecs
Main (UI) thread: 292,38 msecs
TestQT.vcxproj: background build FAILED!
TestQT.vcxproj: background build FAILED!
TestQT.vcxproj: background build FAILED!
as output from Qt VS tools and if I try to build this project I get

I'm sorry for this newbie question but I googled for hours now...
