<p>Ok, found it... For those who are equally confused as I was
initially, here's the solution:</p>
<p>- Settings -> Preferences -> At -> Qt Tools</p>
<p>- Tools Directory -> Point to location of QtDesigner
installation path</p>
<p>- No need to fill in anything in Qt-Prefix and Qt-Postfix fields
on Windows 10 (default is designer and the tool is automatically
adding the extension .exe to it)</p>
<p>Now you can open .ui files again...</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Using Eric6 20.5 installation, I wanted to experiment with GUI
applications. However, when trying to open the .ui file, I get
the following error:</p>
<p><img src="cid:part1.84CF152F.9B71ED97@gmail.com" alt=""
class=""></p>
<p>I've read somewhere QtDesigner is not part of the standard
PyQt5 package anymore, already for a while. So, I downloaded
the PyQt5Designer 5.14.1 using pip (<a
href="https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5Designer/#files"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5Designer/#files</a>).
<br>
</p>
<p>The QtDesigner executable is installed in
..\Lib\site-packages\QtDesigner (why not in
..\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\....???) and works well when used
individually.</p>
<p>But when I want to open the .ui file again in Eric6 (after
restarting Eric6), it still wants to see the designer.exe file
inside ..\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin (which is <u><b>not</b></u>
the location where the PyQt5Designer has installed
designer.exe).</p>
<p>Question: is there a way to tell Eric6 to look for designer.exe
in another location?<br>
