      1. Check that the full .exe path in the error message exists.
      2. Check that all the DLLs it depends on exist and can be found, either in the same directory or on the PATH. I believe Windows reports "cannot find the file specified" against a top-level .exe attempted to be run when actually it is one of its required dependencies which is missing....

            @JonB The release folder at given path C:\Users\HTCore\Desktop\QT_GUI_Project\Build\Release is empty and how will i know the .DLL files if required for this and where will i palce those .DLL files?

            I am working on to create GUI in QT for the previously existing project of the openinventor (having all code properly execuiting in VS studio and the code include a cmakelist of its own) ---- Now i want to create a QT GUI for that project in a new folder through cmake instead of qmake...... Then i will combile both project in one directroy and will merge/combine the cmakelist of both project and further modifiction in QT GUI -- push button,colors will be performed then... I am new in both platform so i am suffering form various errors... could you help me at my *gmail-- > fawadchosun22@ .... gmail account. If you can guide me how to do it / give me some right direction then i will be make every effort to implement things.

                    @fawad You did not understand the question.
                    Your problem is: you're trying to execute an executable which does not yet exist. So, build your app first, then you can execute it...

                      @jsulm ok now i came to know that when ever i modify the QT GUI then i will have to build the .exe in the QT platform as well....... And then if i load the project in visual studio it will then be able to execute the Project exe file.... Now i am little confuse if i create the GUI in QT and then i modify the .cpp associated with that GUI in visual studio will those changes be incorporated in the GUI as well?

                        @fawad I don't use Visual Studio, but can't you modify your UI in designer inside Visual Studio if you installed Qt Plugin?

                          Like @jsulm says, I don't use your environment but if I did I would hope to do everything inside and only use one of either Creator or Visual Studio, swapping between them sounds like a pain!
