Hi
I am very new to this environment so excuse my simple questions please.
I tried to get OCCT going with QT Creator but failed dismally.
I am not sure that QT is the way to go for a beginner. So my question is really simple. Should I use VS 2022 or must I stick wit QT. What is the best choice for a beginner?

Hello. The most comfortable - Visual Studio.
But the project creating is can be done for VSCode, Qt Cretor or VS by CMake. QT Creator can import the CMake project with no issues.
VS 2022 have the most comfortable start, based on possibility to start DRAWEXE by F5 and debug the code.
The CMake guide: Open CASCADE Technology: Build OCCT
As for me - I'm working with VS Code (on Linux and Windows), but for that need to create launch.json to start the debugging or attach to the process, but building do not a problem.
One of the sample for VS Code build is: OCCT3D Open Source MSYS Build Tutorial
Best regards, Dmitrii.

Thanks a lot for that information. It made it a bit more clear.
The way I understand it is like this:
1) You setup the project using CMake.
2) The project is build for VS2022.
3) I add my code to the project.
4) I build my stuff.
I will try it for QT Creator and VS2022
