How to release a Qt Quick application?

[kathy]

I have built a release version of Qt Quick application using Qt Creator on Windows XP. It run great in Qt Creator. But in release folder, If I double click the exe file, a blank window pop up. I have checked the dll it used. All are in the release folder. Using Process Explorer I found comparing to run in Qt Creator, the exe does not load the image dll like: qjpeg4.dll, qico4.dll, qsvg4.dll, and qmng4.dll. But all these files are in the same directory as the exe file. Why the exe can not load these files?

they should be in imageformats directory

[kathy]

What you mean? I need to create a sub directory called imageformats relative to my exe file folder?

[DenisKormalev]

Yep and move these libs to this dir.

What I want is put evarything in release folder and release the folder to other PC which nol Qt library installed.

I have moved to the dll files but still no luck.

My directory structure is:

In release/,

myApp.exe
QtCore4.dll
QtDeclarative4.dll
QtGui4.dll
QtNetwork4.dll
QtScript4.dll
QtSvg4.dll
QtSql4.dll
QtXml4.dll
QtXmlPatterns4.dll

in release/imageformats

qgif4.dll
qico4.dll
qjpeg4.dll
qmng4.dll
qsvg4.dll

What is wrong?

[DenisKormalev]

all looks ok. Are you sure your problem is in not-loaded image plugins?

I copy the contents of imageformats to plugins/imageformats relative to the exe, and create a qt.conf file.

Directory structure: @
app/app.exe
app/(Qt dlls)
app/qt.conf
app/plugins/imageformats/(plugin files)
@

qt.conf @
[Paths]
Plugins=plugins
@

I tried it but no luck. I use the depends.exe to profile it and found it said can not open wintab32.dll. But I searched my PC and can not find it.
