WinDeployQt and VCINSTALLDIR PROBLEM

DzCode

Hi everyone,

I have some problem about deploing by applications.

I am using Qt 5.9.7 and Qt5.12.2. And as a compiler I have msvc15_64bit, msvc17_32bit, msvc17_64bit.

When I try to deploy my application in command prompt via windeployqt.exe, It cannot find the Visual Studio Installation Library VCINSTALLDIR. How can I set it or solve this?

Bonnie

Run command prompt from Visual Studio's start menu folder.

@Bonnie Which command should I write to set?

To set what?

DzCode

@jsulm

For windeployqt I am going to the path of the program I want to deploy and in command prompt I am writing windeployqt.exe myApp.exe.

Then it gives some warnings like below.
Direct dependencies: Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets
All dependencies : Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets
To be deployed : Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Svg Qt5Widgets
Warning: Cannot find Visual Studio installation directory, VCINSTALLDIR is not set.

I puts basic Qt5 dlls, but it does not put any other like Network dll and OpenGl

@DzCode
I'm not sure with the exact name since mine are not all in English.
Just something like, "x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017" for msvc17_32bit.

@Bonnie YEs, it is like this. I found it from the start menu. After that what should I do?

DzCode

@Bonnie I understood

now it does not give any warning about this but, still does not gather the all required dlls of Qt

DzCode

C:\Qt\Qt5.12.2\5.12.2\msvc2017_64\bin\windeployqt.exe -multimedia -multimediawidgets -opengl C:\Users\dz\Desktop\Testing\myAppApp.exe

The correct form of the windeployment can be like this.
