Does Windows have to support OpenSSL in order for QT Application with OpenSSL to work?
-
According to the documentation:
"If Qt was configured to link against ICU or OpenSSL, the respective DLL's need to be added to the ... folder, too."

@Christian-Ehrlicher Even if I add the dlls in the same folder with .exe, it doesn't work on Windows 10.

it doesn't work
This is no error description.
Which libraries do you use? You need the ones provided by Qt

@Christian-Ehrlicher When I run the application in its directory, QSslSocket::supportsSsl() gives true and QSslSocket::sslLibraryVersionString() gives "OpenSSL 1.1.1k". But when I put it in another directory these are false and empty therefore even if the application runs, OpenSSL related features don't work.
I tried copying dlls from different builds including theQT version but none solved the problem.In addition to that, when I compile the same app on Windows 7 and run the .exe with dlls in the same directory, OpenSSL works. So I guess there is problem with Windows 10 computer.

Use ProcessExplorer or a debugger to see which openssl dlls are loaded and copy these to your executable folder.

@Christian-Ehrlicher May I ask how can I use a debugger for this purpose?

Start your program in a debugger and see what dlls are getting loaded.

@Christian-Ehrlicher Somehow one of the shortcuts I created for an older compilation of the app now works with OpenSSL support.(I'm not sure what have caused this) The new ones I create after compiling are in the same situation, they don't work with openssl in different directories.
So I compared the two, the one with OpenSSL support takes its openssl dlls(libssl and libcrypto) from System32 directory. And one other difference for the working one was vcruntime140.dll. I copied these three dlls next to .exe file but nothing changed.

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thanks so much for your help, I think I solved the problem. Inside the QT directory, there is plugins directory. And inside it there is tls directory which contains 3 dlls: certonlybackend.dll, opensslbackend.dll and schannelbackend.dll. I copied this tls directory next to .exe, I can deploy with OpenSSL now.
