    From that paragraph, scroll down some more. You will see a few lists/tables of DLLs.

      Dear JKSH.
      Thanks for your sugesstion. There are dll files which I copy to release folder - It contain excute file.

      Qt5Core.dll
      Qt5Gui.dll
      Qt5Sql.dll
      Qt5Widgets.dll
      icudt51.dll
      icuin51.dll
      icuuc51.dll
      libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
      libstdc++-6.dll
      libwinpthread-1.dll

      So, I have another question. What will we do if we want to move these dll to another folder such as lib folder. I think that it will be clearly if we move these dll to a clearly name folder . It also we will not hold on it at release folder.

        1. You need re-read the documentation “Creating the Application Package” .
        • The windows platform plugin must be deployed, it's required by all the GUI application.
        • Seems that Qt5Sql.dll is deployed by yourself. so it nearly sure that database plugins is needed by your application.
        • other plugins such as imageformats is required if you used .gif/.jpg/... files in your application.
        • ...
        1. Please use a process tool such as Microsoft's process explorer to monitor your application, so you can easily find out all the dlls needed by your application.

              Thanks,[/quote]That means your program crashed. Does it run properly on your development PC?

              Did you remember to include platforms\qwindows.dll?

              What OS does your development PC use? What OS does your target PC use?

              All programs will look for DLLs in the same folder as the .exe -- that is normal. If you look inside C:\Program Files, you can see that most programs put the .dll files together with the .exe files.

              If you want to be tidy and clear, put a Shortcut on your desktop.

                1.It's run fine when I run it on my development PC.

                2.I forgot include platforms\qwindows.dll.

                3.I use win7-32bit at development PC and target PC use win7-32bit too.

                I have been checking how to add platforms\qwindows.dll to my project.

                Will I copy it to \release\platforms\qwindows.dll and run executable file.

                It didn't work in here. Will I reconfigure something at .pro file?

                  [quote]3.I use win7-32bit at development PC and target PC use win7-32bit too.[/quote]Ok, that should be easier then. (Deployment is harder if you build on Windows 7 and transfer to Windows XP)

                  Will I copy it to \release\platforms\qwindows.dll and run executable file. [/quote]Yes, that is correct. Your folder should look like this:

                  \release\application.exe
                  \release\Qt5Core.dll
                  \release\Qt5Gui.dll
                  \release\Qt5Sql.dll
                  \release\Qt5Widgets.dll
                  \release\icudt51.dll

                  \release\libwinpthread-1.dll
                  \release\platforms\qwindows.dll

                  (but maybe it needs more. Did you use "Process Explorer":http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx, as suggested by 1+1=2?)

                  [quote]It didn't work in here. Will I reconfigure something at .pro file?
                  [/quote]No, the .pro file is only for compiling and linking.

                          C:\Qt\Qt5.1.0\5.1.0\mingw48_32\plugins\imageformats\qgif.dl at Process Explorer.
                          Will we create release\imageformats folder?

                            Hi,

                            The deployment documentation "plugins chapter":https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/deployment-windows.html#qt-plugins

                            explains that.
                            Basically you need to create the plugins folder and the needed subfolder like imageformats.

                            appfolder
                            appfolder\plugins
                            appfolder\plugins\imageformats
                            etc...

                            I've written a doc note with some examples about it but it has been on moderation for some time now and I can't access it.

                              yes, thanks for your solution . But it didnt' work , Will we NEED reconfigure something at .pro file?

                              After I add these folder.

                              *appfolder\plugins*
                              appfolder\plugins\accessible
                              appfolder\plugins\imageformats
                              appfolder\plugins\platforms
                              appfolder\plugins\sqldrivers

                              It didn't work. So that, I try with :

                              *appfolder\release\plugins*
                              appfolder\plugins\plugins\accessible
                              appfolder\plugins\plugins\mageformats
                              appfolder\plugins\plugins\platforms
                              appfolder\plugins\plugins\sqldrivers

                              It didn't work too.

                                  The only exception is platform, it should be in appfolder directly so:

                                  appfolder\plaftorms
                                  appfolder\plugins\imageformats
                                  etc..

                                    @SGaist : Do you mean that we* will not* put platforms and plugins to RELEASE folder. Will We put these folder to appfolder?

                                      can be used.

                                      But if we use the former, a configure file called qt.conf is needed. while the latter doesn't need this file.

                                          It's still didn't work. May you access my machine by teamviewer?.

                                          I replace all of them by :

                                          @appfolder
                                          appfolder\accessible
                                          appfolder\imageformats
                                          appfolder\sqldrivers@

                                          @appfolder\release\plugins
                                          appfolder\release\plugins\accessible
                                          appfolder\release\plugins\mageformats
                                          appfolder\release\plugins\platforms
                                          appfolder\release\plugins\sqldrivers@

                                          But it didnt' work.
