I've installed Visual Studio 2017 and QT 5.8.

Now I installed a QT-Add-in(from here) and I wanted to add the Path of QT 5.8 in Qt Options(in Visual Studio).

But I get an error like : "This QT version uses an unsupported makefile generator (used: MINGW, supported: MSVN.NET, MSBUILD)"

Is there a workaround or a way to fix this problem ?

The Qt that you're attempting to use has not been compiled with a binary-compatible compiler - either Visual Studio 2015 or Visual Studio 2017. You'll have to download Qt for MSVC2015, or build it yourself.
