    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.
