<![CDATA[Could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"]]>Hello everyone!

I have just compiled new application, which works perfectly well.
But when i tried change library path inside my application, I'll saw next problem during starting my program:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows".

Application works normal, when I don't change library path.
I want, that my application works in any computer, without installing Qt library.
I added library in this way:

@ a.addLibraryPath(a.applicationDirPath() + "/plugins/");@

"plugins" directory exists in this path.
When I started application with old library path I'll saw next:

("D:/build-A_1-Desktop_Qt_5_1_1_MinGW_32bit-Release/release/plugins", "C:/Qt/Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/mingw48_32/plugins", "D:/build-A_1-Desktop_Qt_5_1_1_MinGW_32bit-Release/release")

But when I renamed this directory "C:/Qt/Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/mingw48_32/plugins", my application stopped working with the same error.

Please help me:)

IIRC, you should move the platforms folder from plugins to release

I copied directory plugins with all subdirectories from C:/Qt/Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/mingw48_32/plugins to my application directory.
My plugin directory consists:

Directory of D:\build-A_1-Desktop_Qt_5_1_1_MinGW_32bit-Release\release\plugins

25.11.2013 12:10 <DIR> .

You need to preserve Qt's plugin directory structure . Meaning you just can set the base-path for plugins, which contains the subfolders "imageformats", "platforms", ... and the respective plugin libraries then.
