Qt Creator 6.0.1 and Qt 6.2.2 running on Windows 7
-
@hskoglund : There are Qt 5 based builds of Qt Creator 6.0.x on https://download.qt.io/snapshots/qtcreator_qt5/6.0/
-
@andr Thank you! I know I've seen that link before but couldn't find it.
If those Qt5-flavored builds of Qt Creator keep coming, that'll solve almost all of my issues with Qt and Windows 7, except if I want to build and test a Qt6 app. In that case my patches above could still be useful :-)

@hskoglund Will you like to share the patches that you had applied to fix this 0xC0000005 error? I am also trying to get 6.2 working on Windows 7. Even the uic.exe moc.exe console apps fail with 0xC0000005 error. Many Thanks if you can help out.

Hi, the patches for Qt 6.2.2 in binary format (3 .dlls) can be downloaded via the link above (in the first post).
The patches in source format consists of 9 files, I made a .zip for you here
I've only tested them on Qt 6.2.2 but with a bit of luck they should work on 6.2.3 as well... -
@hskoglund
I still find Win 7 much better than Win 10. But at some point one has no other options than update.

@hskoglund sup , i dmd you ...need your help for some QT .dlls , to get some 6.2.2 and 6.2.4 apps to work with w7, much obliged

Hi, you should be able to get a Qt 6.2.2 MSVC 2019 64-bit widgets-flavored Qt app running on Windows 7 by downloading the .zip (link in the top post) and replace those 3 .dlls in your Qt installation.
For a Qt 6.2.4 widgets app it is likely to get it to work (I haven't tried) on Windows 7 by downloading the source .zip (see link above), replacing the 9 source files and rebuilding Qt. -
@hskoglund would appreciate it if you could give it a look , 6.2.4 .dlls , when you have some time of course, im not good at all in terms of rebuilding QT, just aim to run QT 6.2.2 and 6.2.4 apps on w7, tho if theres a easy one click tool that does this ...i can try, mind you i dont have QT installed myself , but the apps i use have QT included aka use QT and its .dlls , as ive posted an example in the Chat i opened with you

With some initial guidance from @hskoglund (thanks!), I have managed to create Windows 7-compatible DLLs for Qt 6.3.0 (QtCore, QtGui, qwindows).
Purely for experimental/"at your own risk" use of course :)
Download for DLLs (also contains diff file showing the modifications needed to the original source files): https://web.tresorit.com/l/idV8c#QwlBcUwvkQYjzbRSWlZlnQ
Any issues, please let me know.
EDIT: Here is the batch file I used to setup my environment for building:
@echo off REM Set up Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, where <arch> is amd64, x86, etc. CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64 REM Edit this location to point to the source code of Qt SET _ROOT=C:\projects\qt5 SET PATH=%_ROOT%\qtbase\bin;%PATH% SET PATH=C:\ninja;%PATH% cd %_ROOT% SET _ROOT= REM Set Windows version macros to Windows 7 SET CL=/DWINVER=0x0601 %CL% SET CL=/D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0601 %CL% SET CL=/DNTDDI_VERSION=0x06010000 %CL% REM Assume Internet Explorer 8.0 REM See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winprog/using-the-windows-headers#macros-for-conditional-declarations SET CL=/D_WIN32_IE=0x0800 %CL% REM Keeps the command line open when this script is run. cmd /k -
not sure but maybe an sorts of autopatcher .....to make future QT built Apps work on W7 would be a pretty epic thing, so say you gots an App that uses QT for its GUI etc and for the patcher to just patch all .dlls so App runs on W7
