Deploying to Win7 from Win10
-
My Windows dev machine runs Windows 10, but I need to deploy a Qt 6.2.0 application to Windows 7.
I usedwindeployqtto collect all the Qt libraries but when I try to run the application on the target machine I get this error:
I did a search for this error and it seems Microsoft has changed some libraries and there is no binary compatibility between the two OS.
I know I can solve building the application on a Win 7 machine, but I wonder if there's a smarter way to do this inside my Win 10 dev machine.

@Mark81 win 7 isn't officially supported for Qt6
So you will have to use modified Qt6 libraries.
see @hskoglund 's thread here:
https://forum.qt.io/topic/133002/qt-creator-6-0-1-and-qt-6-2-2-running-on-windows-7for more information on how to do that.
