Hello,

The error comes from custom build step against file qtsampleplayer.ui

The command looks like: "$(QTDIR)\bin\uic.exe" -o ".\GeneratedFiles\ui_%(Filename).h" "%(FullPath)"

It looks for uic.exe at $(QTDIR)\bin so you need to download and install Qt for Windows with build tools for VS 2017, then you need to create env variable QTDIR and specify path to msvc2017, for example in my case this is C:\Qt\5.12.4\msvc2017

After that you can rebuild qtsampleplayer project with no errors but you going need to copy Qt dlls to same folder where qtsampleplayer is started from.
