    Download version for your OS from "Qt Installer Framework":http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt-installer-framework/1.5.0/
    and manual is here "Qt Installer Framework Manual":http://qt-project.org/doc/qtinstallerframework-1.5/index.html

      I will do a dynamic linking .. but i am lost with IFW and dont know where to start even with the manual ..

      Should i create a config.xml file? can you point me where to start ..
      is it possible for IFW to collect all dependencies ?

      When i run the exe file alone, it asks about QtCore4 dll and when i copy it together with another Qt dll, it says dont find starting point of a certain function, do i copy the correct dll ?

              You only need to include Qt .dlls...

              QTNETWORK4.DLL
              QTSQL4.DLL
              QTCORE4.DLL
              QTGUI4.DLL

              You might also need
              icudt51.dll (I think Qt 5 has 51 at the end... You might have some different numbers with Qt4)
              icuin51.dll
              icuuc51.dll
              libEGL.dll
              libGLESv2.dll

              And you also need to include platform folder...

              Just include what it says in error when you run it...

                I don't find QTSQL4.dll and QTCore4.dll in the system .. But i have SQLitebrowser and these files were packed with it .. If i use these files, it complains of a missing starting point ..

                Any idea where these files are?

                  I got mine in C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\msvc2012\bin

                  You must have it there... Maybe Qt4Sql.dll

                      I added the required files but i get "cannot connect to database"
                      the Qtsql4.dll file is included .. But i don't know where the error may come from?

                            Since you're using Qt 4 try search at:
                            [QtPath]\Desktop\Qt\4.8.1\mingw\plugins\sqldrivers
                            4.8.1 - probably you have another version
                            put sqldrivers folder beside executable.

                              I found the sqldrivers and put the file once in the same folder and once put the sqldrivers folder in the same folder as the exe file ..

                              But the problem persists ..
                              I would appreciate if you try to download my app and test it
