is it possible for QT to Release QT application without the DLLs and other files in the release folder?
only the .exe which will work without the files?@Pariposh
You can "release" whatever you want, including just the.exe, but without the needed DLLs in the same folder how is it going to work on target machines? Unless you are sure/want to take the risk that the target machine has all the necessary DLLs already and that they will be found correctly at runtime, e.g. they are on thePATH. Usually you usewindeployqtto package, distribute and install all the necessary files. -
With a commercial license, you can use static linking so the executable will include all necessary Qt functions.

Also, if you do static linking with LGPL software you have to consider the obligations of that license! Basically it would mean to provide the source code of your application to everyone who has access to your application and asks you for source code.
