        @Alex42 Have you tried this windows dbus port from freedesktop.org?
        Never tried it. Might be better than that archived dbus code you found on google.

          Is there a reason why you want to use D-Bus on Windows?

                @Alex42 I strongly believe you'd have it done faster by setting up interprocess communication using TCP socket. But then again, it is Windows, so who knows.

                For more information please re-read.

                Kind Regards,
                Artur

                  I agree with @artwaw. Check out the fortune example client and server.

                    @mchinand, As you see, the problem it's not in the TCP/IP ( local server / socket ,shared memory ,QProcess class, QT Network ) , the problem it's how to run d-bus daemon on the windows , ( or how to use Qt D-Bus under Windows )

                      the problem it's how to run d-bus daemon on the windows , ( or how to use Qt D-Bus under Windows )

                      This is outside of Qt. I suggest you also search on the Internet.

                        how to use Qt D-bus on windows ?

                        In your main.cpp, before any other Qt code, paste this:

                        int main(int argc, char *argv[])
                        {
                        #ifdef Q_OS_WINDOWS
                            // This variable comes from dbus-env.bat
                            qputenv("DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS", "autolaunch:");
                        #endif
                        

                        If you also have all the DBus files, DLLs etc. in the same directory as your .exe, it will work.
