    @ali-aydin said in how to run exe file:

    by double click it does nothing .why?

    Nobody knows. Maybe it's missing something it needs to start, and your "I put the essential dll files in same directory" is not good enough. Try opening a Command Prompt and running the EXE from there, just maybe you might get some message. Or even possibly it is running but not producing anything visual for some reason --- run Task Manager to verify the EXE is not running.

          thats like saying I ate breakfast and went to work. Doesn't tell us anything on how you got that food poisoning.

          So, lets pull some teeth:
          I assume this is on windows(?), did you use the windeployqt tool ?

              @ali-aydin ok, you should use it. it is, like the name suggested for deploying your executable.

              https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows-deployment.html

              General steps on how to use it:

              • Open command line prompt
              • execute the qtenv2.bat inside the bin folder of the Qt kit, you used to compile your application
              • in the same folder you will also now find the windeployqt.exe
              • so execute that program, give it the fill path to your own binary, and since its a qml application, also give the --qmldir option the full path to the folder containing your main.qml (the actual source file)

              90% of the time, if done properly, this should be everything you need to do

                    one step forwards

                    do you use MSVC or MinGW as compiler/QtVersion

                                I find that very hard to believe, if you copy the exe and all files and folders that windeployqt deployed then it should work anywhere on your pc.

                                Does your program do anything path specific, do you read a file that is required or something along that line

                                    can you post a screenshot of that folder ?

                                    and are you sure your app/code doesn't require files to read or something similar on start up?
                                    any error messages?

                                        @ali-aydin ok, the deployment folder seems to be missing tons of qml related plugins.

                                        What was the actual call to windeployqt ?
