both methods don't work
- projects -> Build & Run -> Run -> Run Environment -> append dll dir paths to variable "Path"
- add dll dir paths to system environment "Path"
env
- os: win10
- kit: MSVC2017
- Qt: 5.12.0
- QtCreator: 4.8.0
BTW, if copy the dll to the dir where the executable is, it works.

The first method works, my mistake to not include enough path, QtCreator ignores all os environment variable "Path".BTW, it seems that dll can be specified in .pro file:

It does not - I use it this way (I have a directory c:\dlls). But you have to restart all programs after such a change in order to take effect.

I created a new project,
projects -> Build & Run -> Run -> Run Environment -> Pathincludes all the paths in os env varPath, but for my old project is migrated from *nix os, and change os env varPathdoesn't take effects. It seesm that QtCreator only find dlls inprojects -> Build & Run -> Run -> Run Environment -> Path -

PATHthere, the systemPATHis overwritten. But that is to expect, isn't it? -

@aha_1980 that's ok, it means when the project has been created, changing os env var
Pathwill not take effect any more.No. Once you changed the
PATHfor a project in Creator, the systemsPATHno longer applies to this project, i.e. any change to the systemsPATHhave no effect for that project. -
