    @KroMignon , I tried:

    %QT5.9.2%\windeployqt.exe --dir "%CWD%\install\" "%CWD%\deploy\trngServer.exe"
    

    Result:

    Qt Deployment
    Setting up environment for Qt usage...
    Remember to call vcvarsall.bat to complete environment setup!
    Please specify the binary or folder.
     
    Usage: C:\Qt\Qt5.9.2\5.9.2\msvc2015_64\bin\\windeployqt.exe [options] [files]
    Qt Deploy Tool 5.9.2
     
    The simplest way to use windeployqt is to add the bin directory of your Qt
    installation (e.g. <QT_DIR\bin>) to the PATH variable and then run:
      windeployqt <path-to-app-binary>
    If ICU, ANGLE, etc. are not in the bin directory, they need to be in the PATH
    variable. If your application uses Qt Quick, run:
      windeployqt --qmldir <path-to-app-qml-files> <path-to-app-binary>
     
    Options:
      -?, -h, --help            Displays this help.
      -v, --version             Displays version information.
      --dir <directory>         Use directory instead of binary directory.
      --libdir <path>           Copy libraries to path.
      --plugindir <path>        Copy plugins to path.
      --debug                   Assume debug binaries.
      --release                 Assume release binaries.
      --pdb                     Deploy .pdb files (MSVC).
      --force                   Force updating files.
      --dry-run                 Simulation mode. Behave normally, but do not
                                copy/update any files.
      --no-patchqt              Do not patch the Qt5Core library.
      --no-plugins              Skip plugin deployment.
      --no-libraries            Skip library deployment.
      --qmldir <directory>      Scan for QML-imports starting from directory.
      --no-quick-import         Skip deployment of Qt Quick imports.
      --no-translations         Skip deployment of translations.
      --no-system-d3d-compiler  Skip deployment of the system D3D compiler.
      --compiler-runtime        Deploy compiler runtime (Desktop only).
      --no-compiler-runtime     Do not deploy compiler runtime (Desktop only).
      --webkit2                 Deployment of WebKit2 (web process).
      --no-webkit2              Skip deployment of WebKit2.
      --json                    Print to stdout in JSON format.
      --angle                   Force deployment of ANGLE.
      --no-angle                Disable deployment of ANGLE.
      --no-opengl-sw            Do not deploy the software rasterizer library.
      --list <option>           Print only the names of the files copied.
                                Available options:
                                 source:   absolute path of the source files
                                 target:   absolute path of the target files
                                 relative: paths of the target files, relative
                                           to the target directory
                                 mapping:  outputs the source and the relative
                                           target, suitable for use within an
                                           Appx mapping file
      --verbose <level>         Verbose level.
     
    Qt libraries can be added by passing their name (-xml) or removed by passing
    the name prepended by --no- (--no-xml). Available libraries:
    bluetooth concurrent core declarative designer designercomponents enginio
    gamepad gui qthelp multimedia multimediawidgets multimediaquick network nfc

    @SPlatten said in windeployqt, looks ok, but no files transferred:

    C:\Qt\Qt5.9.2\5.9.2\msvc2015_64\bin\windeployqt.exe

    Your are still using 64 bit version here. Why?
    Can you try this:

    @echo Qt Deployment
    SET VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\
    SET QT5.9.2=C:\Qt\Qt5.9.2\5.9.2\msvc2015\bin\
    SET PATH=%QT5.9.2%;%PATH%
    %QT5.9.2%\windeployqt.exe --dir install\ deploy\trngServer.exe
    

    EDIT: I am using 32 bit version of windeployqt on Win7 64 bit and Windows 10 64 bit without any problem.

      @KroMignon, because as I've said numerous times, trying to run the 32bit version does not work.

          @KroMignon yes, and even it I go directly to the location of the file and execute, the result is still a dialog saying it can't run.

            @SPlatten And as I said: your current approach is also not going to work.
            For Qt 32bit app you have to use 32bit windeploytool.exe.
            Instead of trying to do some strange workarounds you should fix the actuall issue...

              @jsulm , ok, but saying that doesn't make it work, how can I use the 32bit windeployqt.exe if it will not run?

                Then I would recommend you to restore/reinstall the Qt Kit.
                You have to use the right windeployqt to deploy your application, AFAIK there is no option to tell which are the libs use for the deploy.

                  @SPlatten Did you try to disable anti-virus software as I suggested before? Just to make sure it is not the cause of the issue.
                  Check Windows log to see whether there is something helpful.
                  Also, can you upgrade to a more recent Qt version?

                    @jsulm, I can't the laptop is locked down by the company that owns it's IT department, no I can't upgrade either, the version of Qt is old I know, thats what I have to use.

                          @SPlatten I think what @J-Hilk is suggesting is to use 64bit Qt instead of 32bit

                            let windeployqt do its job with that one -> verify it works as standalone -> Copy files manually for the 32 bit version, using the 64 bit folder as template

                                @SPlatten said in windeployqt, looks ok, but no files transferred:

                                Okay, so windeployqt 32 bit seems to be corrupt.
                                And you cannot reinstall Qt because of IT issues.
                                So @J-Hilk idea is to build with Qt 64 bit, use windeployqt 64 bit to find out the required libs/plugins and than do by hand the same for 32 bit.

                                  let windeployqt do its job with that one -> verify it works as standalone -> Copy files manually for the 32 bit version, using the 64 bit folder as template -> pray

                                      As alternative, you could:

                                      • try to get windeployqt 32 bit from an other installation
                                      • try to install this Qt version on an other machine (maybe VM) and copy the windeployqt to your machine.
                                      • try to rebuild windeployqt from sources - (install path/Src/Tools/windeployqt)

                                          Do you have this error with the 64 bit or 32 bit version of your application?
