Entry Point Not Found-QtCored4.dll

JKSH

1.Which compiler did you use? -Qt Creator 2.4.1

Qt Creator is not a compiler.

Are you using Visual Studio 2008? Visual Studio 2012? MinGW 4.4? MinGW 4.9? Something else?

2.Do you have multiple versions of Qt on your computer?-No

OK.

3.Does your app run correctly when you launch it from Qt Creator?- no
It stops with the message
(14fc.1f10): Unknown exception - code c0000139 (first chance)
eProcess crashed
eCDB crashed

That's not good. If it doesn't launch correctly from Qt Creator, then it definitely won't launch correctly when you double-click the .exe no matter what you do.

Now i put the DLLs in the same folder as your .exe and got the error message below
example1.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ??4QString@@QAEAAV0@$QAV0@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library QtCored4.dll.

Well, that means DLLs that you copied are not compatible with your executable. Either your SDK is broken, or you are using the wrong compiler.

Sorry, I just noticed this. You do have multiple versions of Qt on your machine.

Uninstall one of them. The error message you got ("Entry point not found") is often caused when you build your app using one version of Qt but use the DLLs from a different version.

How to uninstall one of them ? I do not find in the control panel.
i am using Visual Studio 2008.
I have done a fresh install of SDK . Before doing it i have deleted all Previous files .

In my C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt path i find two folder 4.7.4\msvc2008 and 4.8.1\msvc2008,msvc2010.

Go to your SDK folder. You should find something called MaintenanceTool.exe -- this lets you add/remove packages.

i am using Visual Studio 2008.

MSVC 2010 is not compatible with Visual Studio 2008. Remove the MSVC 2010 package.

Also remove Qt 4.7.4 -- this is extremely old and not supported any more.

IS it the Right Link To install SDK with 4.8.1 https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.1/qt-win-opensource-4.8.1-vs2008.exe

Yes it is.

But if you are going to download a new SDK, I suggest you go straight to Qt 4.8.6: https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.6/qt-opensource-windows-x86-vs2008-4.8.6.exe This version is fully compatible with Qt 4.8.1.

Also upgrade your Qt Creator (Version 2.4.1 is extremely extremely old): http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/3.4/3.4.1/qt-creator-opensource-windows-x86-3.4.1.exe

(In fact, after you get your app working, I highly recommend you port to Qt 5.4.2. However, that requires a bit more work, so let's focus on getting your app working on Qt 4.8.6 first.)

We are currently using QtSdk-offline-win-x86-v1_2_1.exe . When i do fresh install of this .exe file , Qt Creator 2.4.1, SDK 4.7.4\msvc2008 and SDK 4.8.1\msvc2008,msvc2010 will be automatically installed.
If i run the MaintenanceTool.exe both the SDK 4.7.4 and 4.8.1 will be uninstalled.

Why don't you download https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.6/qt-opensource-windows-x86-vs2008-4.8.6.exe ?

Did you uninstall your old SDKs first? You should, otherwise you might get mixed up between versions.

See Adding Compilers to tell Qt Creator where to find your compiler.
See Adding Qt Versions to tell Qt Creator where to find the Qt binaries.
Finally, see Adding Kits to tell Qt Creator how to combine your compiler with the Qt binaries.
