how to run exe file

JonB

by double click it does nothing .why?

Nobody knows. Maybe it's missing something it needs to start, and your "I put the essential dll files in same directory" is not good enough. Try opening a Command Prompt and running the EXE from there, just maybe you might get some message. Or even possibly it is running but not producing anything visual for some reason --- run Task Manager to verify the EXE is not running.

In the task manager there is not same thing,
and tried to run it from cmd but does nothing again
there is no error or other thing

thats like saying I ate breakfast and went to work. Doesn't tell us anything on how you got that food poisoning.

So, lets pull some teeth:
I assume this is on windows(?), did you use the windeployqt tool ?

ali-aydin

@J-Hilk
Yes, OS is win 10
no I did not use windeployqt I used only QtCreator
I tested this by QtWidget is ok but QtQuick has some problems

J.Hilk

@ali-aydin ok, you should use it. it is, like the name suggested for deploying your executable.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows-deployment.html

General steps on how to use it:

Open command line prompt
execute the qtenv2.bat inside the bin folder of the Qt kit, you used to compile your application
in the same folder you will also now find the windeployqt.exe
so execute that program, give it the fill path to your own binary, and since its a qml application, also give the --qmldir option the full path to the folder containing your main.qml (the actual source file)

90% of the time, if done properly, this should be everything you need to do

@J-Hilk
Thank you so much I will test it

ali-aydin

@J-Hilk
I used windeployqt it worked for me on my laptop
but on the pc it does not work

J.Hilk

@ali-aydin alright, alright alright,

one step forwards

do you use MSVC or MinGW as compiler/QtVersion

ali-aydin

@J-Hilk
I'm using MinGW

J.Hilk

@ali-aydin ok, should rule out msc++ distributable.

°but on the pc it does not work

what exactly is happening, do you get an error message/prompt or other kind of popup,

the the process running, but nothing is shown.
What kind of windows is the pc running

ali-aydin

@J-Hilk
no there is no error or popup
Pc running with win 10

same bit system(32/64) ?
do you have Qt Libraries in your system path, on the laptop
do you have your qml files in a qt resource file

ali-aydin

@J-Hilk
I got new problem
when I changing the directory on laptop it is not working anymore
yes all the qml files in one resource file
bit system is x64
Qt Libraries is in the same directory with exe file

I find that very hard to believe, if you copy the exe and all files and folders that windeployqt deployed then it should work anywhere on your pc.

Does your program do anything path specific, do you read a file that is required or something along that line

ali-aydin

@J-Hilk
I'm coping entire folder to other directory
and then it's not working

J.Hilk

@ali-aydin very strange
can you post a screenshot of that folder ?

and are you sure your app/code doesn't require files to read or something similar on start up?
any error messages?

ali-aydin

@J-Hilk
yes sure, I can send you my test code too.

J.Hilk

@ali-aydin ok, the deployment folder seems to be missing tons of qml related plugins.

What was the actual call to windeployqt ?
