MinGW Qt Application Deployment NOT WORKING

Nobody-86

Hi SSJMetroid,

I have exactly the same Problem. I missing the GPSVC.DLL and IESHIMS.DLL to, but I also missing a DCOMP.DLL. I have still no Ideo how to fix it (learning to work with dependency walker for two days now). What I see is, that the linked QT5CORE.DLL has not the right Link Checksum (should be 0x00423D4A but is 0x00419Da7 or other way round, not sure). GPSVC.DLL and IESHIMS.DLL (and GPSVS.DLL) are both needed by the QT5CORE.DLL, so I guess this is the way to go.

Would be nice if you could post your checksum of QT5CORE.DLL, just for personal interest.

edit:
I guess I found the solution:

Certainly the missing IESHIMS.dll is not an issue: it has never been present on any of my machines. I assume the other is not either.

All of the Qt Creator version information is very nice but not useful when it comes to your application. What version of Qt was your application built with? What compiler and version was your application built with? Exactly what files have you deployed?

Hi Chris. I am using a fresh install of whatever version of Qt Creator that was. This is my build environment:

As you can see, I am using Qt 5.0.1 to build the project.

OK, so you have at least these files in your deployment:
@
yourapp.exe

and the following from under C:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\mingw47_32\bin

Qt5Core5.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll
Qt5Multimedia.dll
Qt5MultimediaWidgets.dll
Qt5Network.dll
Qt5OpenGL.dll
icudt49.dll
icuin49.dll
icuuc49.dll
libEGL.dll
libGLESv2.dll
D3DCompiler_43.dll
platforms\windows.dll

the following as required

imageformats*
mediaservice*

The MingW runtime

MINGWM10.DLL
LIBGCC_S_sjlj-1.DLL
LIBSTDC++-6.dll

Thanks for your reply, Chris. I have located all of the files you specified already. I am guessing you tested this loadout to see if it works? A couple questions arise for me...

Some of the files you specified are named differently. Is this expected? For example: platforms\windows.dll is actually plugins\platforms\qwindows.dll on my end.
Should I be putting them into the same folder setup in my deployment? For example: putting plugins\imageformats* into the same directory as my exe file? Or just imageformats*? Or just copying all the DLL files and pasting them into the same directory as my exe file?
And most importantly: I have used all possible methods of searching my computer and have NOT LOCATED the file MINGWM10.DLL inside the C:\Qt folder (my installation directory for Qt). Is this just wrong? Is my installation bugged? Should I really be checking another directory for this? (I have previously installed a version of mingw on my computer located at C:\mingw, but this is more than likely a different version than the one that my deployment of Qt is using...)

Hi,
must likely this thread is dead but I'm having exactly the same behavior in a windows XP with qt5.1. I would like to ask SSJMetroid how he'd solved the problem.

regards,

SSJMetroid

I was able to fix the issue by providing ALL of the correct DLL files in all of the correct folder locations. Here is what my project directory looks like:

Main Folder:
imageformats folder
mediaservice folder
platforms folder
D3DCompiler_43.dll
icudt49.dll
icuin49.dll
icuuc49.dll
libEGL.dll
libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll
libGLESv2.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
Qt5Core.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Multimedia.dll
Qt5MultimediaWidgets.dll
Qt5Network.dll
Qt5OpenGL.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll
main.exe

platforms folder:
qwindows.dll

mediaservice folder:
qsengine.dll
qtmedia_audioengine.dll

imageformats folder:
qgif.dll
qico.dll
qjpeg.dll
qmng.dll
qsvg.dll
qtga.dll
qtiff.dll
qwbmp.dll

ok Thanks.

my fault was that I was adding qwindows.dll into th main folder instead of a subfolder platforms.
