MinGW Qt Application Deployment NOT WORKING

SSJMetroid

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.

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.
