Qt 5.0.1 Failed to load platform plugin "windows"
-
It's a new thing in Qt5 - QPA (Qt Platform Abstraction) plugins. You simply need to copy windows.dll (or was that qwindows.dll?) to <your executable dir>/plugins/platforms.
Hope I remembered that well ;)

<qt installation or source dir>/qtbase/plaugins/platforms

Thanks. Found it. There is actually a couple of them.
One is in: C:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\5.0.1\mingw47_32\plugins\platforms
The other in: C:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\Tools\QtCreator\bin\platformsEither one of them have no effect. Same error. I even tried pasting it in every single folder of this empty project. It is an empty project for crying out loud, I haven't even done anything and it fails.

Ok, never mind. I tried to reinstall 5.0.1 just in case I missed some setting during installation, but now it will not even finish installing:
@--------------------------- Installer Error --------------------------- Error during installation process (qt.501.patcher): The output of C:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\5.0.1\mingw47_32\bin\qmake.exe -query is not parseable. Please file a bugreport with this dialog https://bugreports.qt-project.org. output: "" --------------------------- Retry Ignore Cancel ---------------------------@
Anyway, I am giving up on Qt for now, already spent too much time trying to get it properly seated on my system. Maybe this release is too buggy for some reason or not natively compatible with Win7 64.
Cheers

I was using libGLESv2.dll and was having this problem: The pop-up
————————————————————————
..could not find or load the Qt platform plugin windows..
————————————————————————
when trying to run the EXE-file. I could not resolve this until adding libEGL.dll to the same folder as my .EXE.
Needs be fixed!
