Ensure you are building with the same Visual Studio toolchain version that your QT distribution was built for.
I got this error when I used a build kit (Options -> Build & Run -> Kits) that was configured to use MSVC 2013 (12.0), but the QT Version was msvc2010_opengl. Apparently the discrepancy led to an invalid build configuration. Modifying the build kit to use VS 2010 fixed the problem.
