Compatibility of programs developed with qt4
-
Hi
It does look like its started made with Qt4.
However, besides a few files that are named Qt4 in the end,
there was not much that indicated the GUI was qt4, oddly enough.
It wanted Visual 2012 which i dont have so could not run it.Is there anywhere i can download the installer you are using ?

Hi, it's somewhat complicated.
The original program is called Mezzo, it comes with an installer, I have it installed and it runs with no problems: https://static.sys.kth.se/abe/ctr/mezzo_setup.zip
The modified program is called BusMezzo, it runs on an exe and other files with the same names as the original but there is no installer, users simply download a folder and run it from the folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0z7uf6xu71t4n38/AACPRLBNFD4xsgO9GKacZaW1a?dl=0&lst=
The lack of an installer isn't an issue for other people but seems to be the cause of my problems.It does look like its started made with Qt4.

It wanted Visual 2012 which i dont have so could not run it.I just remembered that in the development blog - http://mezzo_dev.blogspot.com/ - they don't say it directly but it seems it was originally developed in qt 4 and the last changes were made in 5.8.
Also, one of my colleagues ran it with qt 5.9

Hi
Super. I will try it.
i just start with mezzo_gui.exe ?update.
That link http://mezzo_dev.blogspot.com/ was really helpful.
this apps need the Qt5.8 VS 2015 64 Qt install.
5.9 might work also as it seems your colleague was lucky.update 2:
Looking good

Hi
Update 3.
I installed 5.9 vs2015 64 bit and made a new deployment folder using the windeployqt tool.Also runs on win 10 now even i have other Qt versions installed.
( not 5.9 as i did this in virtual machine to be clean)
Seems to work so i hope it does for you too.the new folder as zip file. unzip and run exe.

And please be paranoid and scan it first as
downloading random .exe and dlls from a forum
is always slightly dubious. -
Wow! Sorry for the late reply - for some reason I didn't get a notification. Will try and get back to you, thanks in advance

Hi
I tried it on a 100% clean windows 10 and it ran.
At least show the main window etc. Then i didn't know what to press to see if it really works :)Hope it also works for you as then you can use it as new "installer"

@mrjj Surprisingly, it ran with 5.15! I couldn't open files so currently installing 5.9 and checking again

Eureka!!! It works perfectly now that I installed 5.9.9 MSVC 2015 x64 :) Amazing!
So the issue was a matter of version compatibility, and my colleagues were just lucky to be working with older systems?
So so grateful for your help!!! Thanks to you I can finally continue my research.
