I am looking for the directory and file name of Visual Studio 2015 debugger to import it into QT Creator.
My problem is, that I have no idea what its name and folder is.
When googling for it only tutorials of how to debug appear.

It should be something like: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin` – vahancho Jul 24 '20 at 14:21

1The compiler is `cl.exe`. – vahancho Jul 24 '20 at 14:30

After reading all links posted by phonetagger and vahancho I knew what I need looking for... so: the executables name is cdb.exe and it can be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64
BUT! only if Debugging Tools for Windows are installed here is a great discussion about it, and how to install it:
How to install Debugging Tools with Visual Studio 2017 installer?

@RbMm: don't be so literal. The FACT is that Thomas needs cdb (for Qt creator), and a good link describing how to get it happens to have "Visual Studio" in the title. Thomas - great reply. Thank you for sharing; please "Accept" when you are able. Kudos, too, to phonetagger and vahancho. – FoggyDay Jul 24 '20 at 21:09
