Hi,

I don't know wether it's intentional but you are trying to deploy a debug version of your application. IIRC, Microsoft officially disallow the distribution of its debugging runtime.

sorry for confusing you, it's the same in release:

Direct dependencies: Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets
All dependencies   : Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets
To be deployed     : Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Svg Qt5Widgets
Warning: Cannot find Visual Studio release redistributable files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\redist\MSVC\14.10.25017.

needless to say, the app doesn't launch on non-build machines unless i manually copy the proper dll's into place
