PanKamil897

I used latest QT MSCV 2013 compiler. (release)

I copied from mscv2013 directory "platforms" and paste to /release/plugins/ - there is qwindows.dll

My files:
-plugins
--platforms
---qwindows.dll
app.exe
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll
Qt5Core.dll
libEGL.dll
libGLESv2.dll
icudt53.dll
icuin53.dll
icuuc53.dll
and msdvc redits..

I have this error on other pcs (on my pc work)
this application failed to start because it could not find or load the qt platform plugin windows

If your directory tree includes 'plugins' this is likely the problem. The individual plugin folders should be immediately below the application:

<app.exe>
<Qt5*.dll>
<lib*.dll>
[platforms]/<qwindows.dll>
[imageformats]/<qtiff.dll>
...
