    Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.

    I don't know if this great. Compare the DW output with the machine where it does work?

    The output I posted has been generated by running DW from my delopment computer. I picked up the DLL from the folder I use to run the program standalone.

    I really can't understand since the program works fine if I run it both from the QtCreator run utility and from the folder I created on my development computer where I copied all the DLLs.

    I don't think I understand. Why are you testing the running one and not the bad one?

    Can you please state clearly where it does not work? You said earlier it does not work on other machines?

      The developed program is very simple: it connects to a MySQL database and retrieves some data depending on the user's input.
      The program works fine both on my development laptop and on ALL other laptops.
      To distribute the program on all other laptops, I created a folder where I put the executable and also all the required DLLs from QT and from the MySQL library.
      The executable works fine both on my computer and on the other laptops.

      Two days ago, I decided to include the SmtpClient-for-Qt library as you suggested in this topic but I need to provide the user to send some information by email.

      I integrated the smtp code in my program, I built it and I put the executable in the folder used to redistribute the program together with the SMTPEmail.dll (If I run the executable without this DLL, it gives me the missing DLL error for SMTPEmail.dll and for Qt5Network.dll, so I added them to the folder ).

      Now, the executable works fine and correctly send emails IF I run it from the folder ON MY laptop.
      The executable opens and runs fine also on all other computers but WHEN the user tries to SEND the email, it gives the error: "CANNOT connect to host".

      So the program runs correctly on ALL the laptops, but it gives the connection error when the user tries to send email from all other laptops (it works fine only on my development laptop).

      At the beginning, I thought about a network error, but all the laptops (included my laptop) are in the same network.

      This is the file list for the folder from where I run the program (it's the same both for my laptop and the other ones):

        @Marcus-Barnet
        Here are several sundry possibilities:

        • Does the target have the OpenSSL libraries/support installed, which I understand is required for Qt SSL support?
        • Does the SMTP DLL have all its dependencies on the target machine (maybe run Dependency Walker on it)?
        • You are supposed to deploy a Qt program to a target machine, since it is not in the same state as a Qt development machine. Did you do that (e.g. windeployqt)?

        Like @JonB and I said in Send attachment by email:

        Does the target have the OpenSSL libraries/support installed, which I understand is required for Qt SSL support?

        Your open SSL DLLs are missing from the installation folder, they are apparently part of your system path (on your development pc) but you can't guarantee that for all systems-> The reason why it fails on other machines.
        Provide them.

          I'm going to check this even if I receive no errors about these missing DDLs when I run the program on the other systems.
          Shouldn't I receive an error as soon as I try to run the program?

            no, in this case its a silent fail,

            silent, in so much as, you should (technically) a get a console output about a failed loading

              Not if the OpenSSL stuff is dynamically loaded (e.g. when the first call is made to send using encryption) instead of statically linked. Which may be what @J-Hilk is indicating is the case.

                Thank you, guys!

                Now, it works fine! I copied both files to the folder and the program runs fine on all laptops.

                    @Long-Vu-Ngoc That user likely won't be around. Just ask your question. Create a new topic probably.

                        @Long-Vu-Ngoc I know, I saw it. Stick to that, you won't get any more help from here.
