Why does QT Windows need Visual Studio?

I was about to download the Windows non-commercial version of QT, but
noticed that it requires MS Visual Studio, so didn't.
This requirement surprises me - is there a way around that?
<rant>
I have the Visual Studio CDs and key, but can't install it.
I was wanting to get away from Visual Basic etc for all the usual
reasons, but after a lot of thrashing about trying other tools,
decided I would try VB just once more for a small project. Began the
install, but it hung. Now I can't use VB because it's not installed,
though it appears on the start menu. I can't re-install it because it
IS installed (or perhaps because it's NOT installed - my mind turned
to mush about then). I can't remove it because it's Not installed. I
don't want to reinstall Win 2000 Pro from scratch just to play with
something that is obsolescent.

I'm working on an app in Rekall (Windows beta) but need to step
outside the main-stream Rekall stuff for a small but complex portion.
This will be coded in Python & QT (like Rekall itself), but I thought
I should work on that completely outside of Rekall initially, and
integrate if when (or if) it works.
