Qt 5.1.1 "unsupported makefile generator" error

I have built Qt 5.1.1 from the zip file sources using MSVC 2012 and shadow builds for both 64- and 32-bit. After repeatedly trying to “nmake install” and finally reading that it doesn’t work properly on Windows, wrote my own batch file scripts to copy the required binary and header files to the directories I will use when building Qt apps. Using MSVC 2012 and the Qt VS addin version 1.2.2, I cannot get this new version of Qt added to VS. I keep getting the “unsupported makefile generator (used: , supported: MSVC.NET, MSBUILD)” error. I have read that this is due to an improper qmake.conf file. My file in the qtbase/mkspecs/win32-msvc2012 directory has as the first line MAKEFILE_GENERATOR = MSBUILD Either the addin is not looking at this particular file, or there is some other error. I’ve tried making the registry fix that is posted elsewhere on the net, I’ve tried making a mkspecs/default directory with this qmake.conf file in it, as well as editing that file to point to win32-msvc2012. Nothing works. Can anyone please tell me where the addin is looking when trying to determine the makefile generator? Or if this isn’t the problem, then what is it?
