It helped me! The problem was in folder structure.
Thank you very much!

Hi,
Have a look at the "deployment":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/deployment-windows.html documentation.
Did you put your platform plugin in the platform subdir ? (Not in the plugins subdir)
And are you sure you want do deploy the debug version (unless it's a typo)? The debug runtime from visual studio are not redistributable.
Hope it helps

THANK YOU MByte! I am using libGLESv2.dll and was having the exact same problem: The pop-up
..could not find or load the Qt platform plugin windows..
when trying to run the EXE-file. I could not resolve this until adding libEGL.dll to the same folder as my .EXE.
How is one supposed to figure this out?
This needs be explained somewhere - It took me 4 h. to find this!
Someone please add to QT documentation!

I still cannot solve this issue. I've added qwindows.dll and libEGL.dll and any other dll I could find and I still get the same popup error.

- Look at what DLLs are loaded when you run the code in QT-Creator.
- The DLLs must be for the sytem you are running, that is 32 OR 64 bit; the right version.
- For my app, I needed qwindows.dll, qminimal.dll, qoffscreen.dll in a "platforms" directory under the executable.
But all such info seems missing in the QT documentation.

Did you put them in the correct folders? See http://qt-project.org/wiki/Deploy_an_Application_on_Windows

How did you find that page - other than by through a search? I cannot see a link to it on the Wiki Home page. http://qt-project.org/wikiIs the page so new that it is not linked to the main page yet?

Worked for me after I did the following:
- include "$(QTDIR)\include\QtANGLE" to the project
- include "libEGL.dll" in the .exe directory (libEGLd.dll if debug)
- put "qwindows.dll" in "platforms\qwindows.dll"
bq. See this thread [qt-project.org] for a list of dll’s and folder structure.bq.
THANKS ALL!

Actually, I found the problem. ANGLE's libEGL.dll also needed to be in the path, not just libGLESv2.dll.
Thanks to toothrot in IRC for having me try Dependency Walker.

None of these solutions works on a Win 8.0 machine. I'm trying to use Harbour with QT which has proven to be nothing but a complete waste of time and effort. Countless hours spent chasing BS issues that should never exist. I have the dll's in the folders described and it does not work! In my opinion, do not waste your time with Harbour and QT. I also hate C++ so QT is not for me. I'm going back to a real development environment, .NET!!!!!!
