Debugging

Qt on Windows doesn't provide its own debugger, so you'll need to install one yourself.

One option is to install the "Windows SDK" for your version of windows, and ensure the Debugging Tools for Windows option is enabled when you're installing it.

For Windows 8.1, this is the correct download URL:
