Can't deploy "Hello World!" Qml example (Win7)

pixelrom

I've created project "Hello World!" (QtQuick 2.2) Qml example (Qt 5.2.1). It started just fine from Qt Creator, but when im trying to start *.exe directly, it didn't open (process howether appear, but without window). I used process explorer and put all DLL's in directory with *.exe. Same thing.

Hi and welcome here,

This question has been asked a lot already, so JKSH made a "very good wiki page about it":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Deploy_an_Application_on_Windows

Don't forget to thank him ;-)

Thanks, but i already tried it. No result.
P.S. I think i made it. Had to use "Initial deployment (Quick and dirty)" and put *.qml files in deployment folder (not the Deployment\qml\MyApp). Going to clean up now. Thanks again =)
Found interesting way to detect needed DLL's:

Launch application
Delete all dll's and just skip all "File using by other program" messages.
Maby need to add in this instruction)

-Actually, the trick only works for DLLs that are required when the app launches. Plugin DLLs allow themselves to be deleted once the app is up and running.- Whoops, ignore that. I was loading the plugins from my development folder instead of my deployment folder. Wiki updated!
