"This application failed to start because..." in Qt5.7.0
-
After debugging my program using Qt 5.7.0 in Windows (with MinGW 5.3.0 32 bit), I compiled Release version to use it on a different PC. Insert all requested dll's, but on the first PC (where I developped my program) all is ok, while in the new the following error message appears:
"This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "".
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem".I try to copy "qwindows.dll" on the same dir where I place my executable: nothing to do.
Make a subdir called "platform" with "qwindows.dll" in: nothing to do.
Copy all platforms (qwindows.dll, qwindowsd.dll, qoffscreen.dll, qoffscreend.dll, qminimal.dll, qminimald.dll) in the same folder where I place executable: nothing to do.

Hi,
To simplify deployment you can use the windeployqt helper.
You can also take a look at this wiki entry about Windows deployment.
