      I used latest QT MSCV 2013 compiler. (release)

      I copied from mscv2013 directory "platforms" and paste to /release/plugins/ - there is qwindows.dll

      My files:
      -plugins
      --platforms
      ---qwindows.dll
      app.exe
      Qt5Gui.dll
      Qt5Widgets.dll
      Qt5Core.dll
      libEGL.dll
      libGLESv2.dll
      icudt53.dll
      icuin53.dll
      icuuc53.dll
      and msdvc redits..

      I have this error on other pcs (on my pc work)
      this application failed to start because it could not find or load the qt platform plugin windows

          If your directory tree includes 'plugins' this is likely the problem. The individual plugin folders should be immediately below the application:

          <app.exe>
          <Qt5*.dll>
          <lib*.dll>
          [platforms]/<qwindows.dll>
          [imageformats]/<qtiff.dll>
          ...
