    Sorry, I haven't used that option from windeployqt.

      So i figured it out with
      --plugindir $(TargetDir)\qtplugins
      in the VS properties.

      But now it complains about the windows plugin not being found (platforms folder is now also in the plugins folder).

        nevermind... I was being stupid.
        It should be
        --plugindir $(TargetDir)\plugins
        since qtplugins would need to be added to the librarypaths first.

            So I got it to deploy the dlls (Qt5Core.dll ...) to a subfolder with
            --libdir $(TargetDir)\qt\libs
            And added that path to the qt.conf file.
            It works fine in visual studio, but when I run the exe itself it still misses those dlls

              Did you check your qt.conf file ?

                of course.

                Windows seems to look for those dlls at execution.

                This means I did nothing wrong, but I think it's just not possible without adding those dlls to PATH similar on windows side.

                  Can you show your folder layout and qt.conf file content ?

                    This is the not working layout.
                    Moving the contents of libs back to the appdir and removing the Libraries entry from the .conf and windeployqt works fine.

                    [Paths]
                    Prefix = qt/
                    Plugins = plugins
                    Libraries = libs

                      Are you using windeployqt with all options to set the paths you want to use ?

                        --libdir $(TargetDir)\qt\libs --plugindir $(TargetDir)\qt\plugins

                        the deploy works fine.
                        also plugins are found.
                        but windows can't find the other dlls.

                        I guess it's simply not possible or Qt/Windows isn't supporting this yet

                          What if you use lib in place of libs ?

                            I can't imagine that would make any difference. I redefine the folder to libs, so lib should be irrelevant. Also I am 100% sure I tried that anyway.
