I've confirmed that Ninja is on the path.

You are not using the VisualStudio 2019 Toolkit, currently you are trying to use a MinGW 64-bit kit. You can see which kit is currently setup for each project under the 'Kit' part of the build button pop out dialog. Here is mine:

To change the kit go to Projects:

viYR4N79k1

And select the Desktop Qt 6.7.1 MSVC2019 64bit kit under the 'Build and Run' section:

Success! I've got the software running, and can build it after making my own edits to the source code – and create working binaries.

I guess that this additional step won't apply to all users, but hopefully it is easy to add to the documentation.
