    @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

                            @Puneeth_BR Deploy your app properly first. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/deployment.html
