how to run exe file

@ali-aydin said in how to run exe file:
@J-Hilk
I released my QtQuick based project and movrd executable file to other system
but it does nothingthats 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 ? -
@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@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 alright, alright alright,
one step forwards
do you use MSVC or MinGW as compiler/QtVersion

@ali-aydin said in how to run exe file:
o 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

@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@ali-aydin said in how to run 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 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 ok, the deployment folder seems to be missing tons of qml related plugins.
What was the actual call to windeployqt ?

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