    @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
