Qt Designer, Create Your Own Stand Alone Version for Advanced Windows Users
This one-page quick guide is provided in PDF format. Please note that this instruction was not designed for inexperienced Windows users. If you are unfamiliar with how the Windows O/S file system works, then please consult a friend or associate to assist you. If you have a legal copy of Daz Studio installed on your system, then you also have a licensed version of the Qt Designer application.
