Cannot run executable
-
Hi,
I am trying to run my application but I get this error :
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "". Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
I have in my app folder the following structure :
- app.exe
- plugins
- platforms
- qminimald.dll
- qoffscreend.dll
- qwindowsd.dll
- styles
- qwindowsvistastyled.dll
- platforms
I then run Dependency Walker and get this :
It looks like my application cannot find all the windows DLLs. But I don't know how to fix it. Any idea ?
EDIT : I am running it on Windows 10 with Qt 5.10.1
Thanks & Regards

The plugins directory is wrong - see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html#qt-plugins :
All Qt GUI applications require a plugin that implements the Qt Platform Abstraction (QPA) layer in Qt 5. For Windows, the name of the platform plugin is qwindows.dll. This file must be located within a specific subdirectory (by default, platforms) under your distribution directory. Alternatively, it is possible to adjust the search path Qt uses to find its plugins, as described below.
And I would suggest you using windeployqt instead trying to copy all needed Qt dlls by yourself (which, obviously doesn't work very well).
