Deploy a project on Windows 7 - CreateDXGIFactory2 problem
-
I have developed a tool with C++ and Qt 6.2.2 and compiled it.
On the PC where I have developed this tool, it works properly, but I need to run it on a PC connected to a machine at work, that PC is running Windows 7, and this cannot be changed.
When I try to run my tool, I get an error about dxgi.dll and CreateDXGIFactory2.
I have tried to install the latest directx available, which on the MS website are those from June 2010 for Windows 7 64bit. This didn't help, I still have the problem.Should I install or update anything to fix that problem? Or is Windows 7 too old and there is nothing to do with that?

createdxgifactory2 windows 7, where I see several hits discussing this?As a separate matter, Qt 6 does not support Win 7, so I don't know what other stuff may or may not work. I believe there have been threads on this forum discussing how you might get it working, you would have to search....
