    @Vijaykarthikeyan Not sure what example you need?
    You simply add one additional parameter to windeployqt as explained in the documentation (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows-deployment.html):
    "--qmldir <directory> Scan for QML-imports starting from directory."

        @jsulm I'm succesfully executed that command line : windeployqt --qmldir <path to qml directory in qt version> <bin_file>.exe..

        it is successfully scanned without any error:

        Updating tr.pak.
        Updating uk.pak.
        Updating vi.pak.
        Updating zh-CN.pak.
        Updating zh-TW.pak.

        C:\Users\hp\build-incline2-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\release>

        but,then i try to run the.exe file,it is again not running

            @jsulm same issue.

            after running the command in corresponding directory like: windeployqt.exe --qmldir <path/to/qml library> <file_name.exe> ..it is scanned and updated allthe required libraries Screenshot 2023-09-04 145459.png

            when running that project's .exe file.,it is showing showMaximized,widgets.dll,webengine.dll,qt5core.dll,webenignecore.dll is not located in dllScreenshot 2023-09-04 145222.png

            all the requires libraries are updated but it shows error like this:Screenshot 2023-09-04 145715.png

            Is that any wrong with my command?

              @Vijaykarthikeyan said in .exe file is not opening:

              windeployqt.exe --qmldir <path/to/qml library> <file_name.exe> --compiler-runtime

              If you use Qt6 you need to use windeployqt6.exe instead of windeployqt.exe and you need to add --compiler-runtime to copy the missing compiler files

              To sum it all up, I usually create a folder were I copy only the executable file, cd in to that folder and run the windeployqt6 from there:

              cd D:\qtprojets\MyAppDeployFolder

              C:\QtOpensourse\6.5.0\mingw_64\bin\windeployqt6.exe --qmldir D:\qtprojets\MyApp D:\qtprojets\MyAppDeployFolder\MyApp.exe --compiler-runtime

              If you have several Qt versions, you should use the same windeployqt6.exe version of the compiled exe file

                    @johngod I'm using 5.15.2 version. I've added --no-compiler-runtime at the end..

                    My command is like this one: C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\bin>windeployqt.exe --qmldir C:\Users\hp\build-incline2-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\exe --no-compiler-runtime

                    the bit versions are correct and correct directory..

                    but it is not importing any libraries in that exe folder..still get 4 error messages..Please help me to sort it out.

                      @Vijaykarthikeyan said in .exe file is not opening:

                      --qmldir

                      This should point to your QML files in the project folder, not in build folder as far as I know. And you're also missing path to the exe file when calling windeployqt.exe.

                            @jsulm So, the correct template should be look like this:

                            <qt-binary-folder>windeployqt.exe --qmldir <path-to-project-file> <path-to-Qt-build-folder>

                              @Vijaykarthikeyan than you're most certainly missing the QML part during windeployqt call:

                              --qmldir <directory>

                              with <directory> being the full path to your main QML folder, as in where your main.qml is

                              otherwise how should the tool know what from QML you used in your application
