I was had the same problems too, and finally figured out how to solve this. Styne666 gave me a hint. Do the following:
- Tools
- Options ...
- Build & Run
- Tool Chains
- Use the ' Clone ' button to make a copy of the auto-detected MSVC items
- In each of the cloned items, you can specify the debugger in the "Debugger" field (e.g. C:\Program files\windows Kits\8.0\ Debuggers\x64\cdb.exe)
- After this everything seems ...

I should further mention so if you is running a 64-bit version of Windows and a 32-bit version of Qt Creator like I am, You need to make sure that is pointing to the 32-bit versions of CDB (of which there is x86 and x64 target Versions). 32-bit Target builds I run this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Debuggers\x86\cdb.exe
And for x64 builds I run this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Debuggers\x64\cdb.exe
The tricky part was that it was somewhat difficult to get Microsoft to install the 32-bit version of the Debugging Tools on Your 64-bit machine. A co-worker tried to does so recently and said that he needed to install the Windows 8 tools in order to has the option to Do that-the Windows 7 versions would isn't let.
