    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 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

                          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

                              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 ok, the deployment folder seems to be missing tons of qml related plugins.

                                  What was the actual call to windeployqt ?

                                      @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

                                      @ali-aydin and where in that command is the requested --qmldir option ? 😉

                                      @J-Hilk said in how to run exe file:

                                      • so execute that program, give it the full 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)
