Executable file cannot run with qt.qpa.plugin error

Shane00

I am trying to run some opencv code and i have included the dll files required by qt and opencv in my executable folder. However this error pops up

Note that i am able to run the program through the IDE itself. How do i fix this? I have also tried running Dependency Walker but i do not get why those files are missing when i have included them already.

Hi,

Did you use windeployqt to gather all the required dlls and plugins for your application ?

@SGaist this is what happens when i use windeployqt

@SGaist It worked! But i am not quite sure how. I followed the instructions here and got it to work because windeployqt didnt work for me.

Thank you anyways
