VC++ 6.0 and Qt 4.4.3?!
Why such ancient software?

@jsulm ya its very old system but still using due to some dependencies. do you have any suggestions to overcome the problem which i have raised thanks

Is Qt 4.4.3 you're using compiled with VC++ 6.0?

@kaleem

If it's not finding qtmain.lib in release mode, but links OK in debug mode check what you are linking to in debug mode (go to the project properties, linker -> input and check 'additional dependencies'. Is there a qtmain.lib or qtmaind.lib?

Maybe your Qt release build is incomplete and missing qtmain.lib. Or maybe the library path is wrong.
