What's the difference in the Visual Studio integration tools for Qt?

Question

Trolltech has released a tool called "Visual Studio add-in" for their LGPL and GPL release of Qt. They state that the commercial version comes with a full Visual Studio Integration tool but I don't see any description of the differences between these.

What's included in the full version that isn't in the add-in?

Answer 1

The Visual Studio add-in does not work with the Windows Open Source Qt binary installer. To get it to work, you'll have to download the source package and build in manually. The Open Source Windows binary works with the MinGW compiler.

Here's how to add Visual Studio integration using an Open Source build.

The commercial version comes with full Visual Studio integration without the extra steps.
