Platform plugin missing/not working
-
I am almost at the point where I can deploy my app. Using windeployqt kept getting errors saying that it couldn't find the platform plugin (using Qt 5.15.2 on windows). Still does.
So I tried another way that's been suggested: using listdlls (from SysInternals) to find out what DLLs I need, and putting them in a folder with the executable. Now, when I try to start the app, I get an error that says "this application failed to start because no qt platform plugin could be initialized". So it can now find the plugin, but it can't initialise it. Why not? Can someone tell me what's going on here? -

Please show how you use windeployqt and how you installed Qt.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I installed Qt using the online installer, I think. As for how I used windeployqt, I went into the "build--release-\release" directory in powershell, and used "windeployqt .<executable>". I tried using the "--release" optiion, but it made no difference.
Thanks.
