Could not load qt platform windows, only available platform is windows

SolaVitae

Was creating a new project in MSVC2017 with the QT Visual studio tools plugin, as a QT Project, and it compiles fine, but when i attempt to run it I get this popup

alt text

Originally it didnt have the "available platforms are" But i put the platforms folder in the .exe's folder and added qwindows.dll, but it still wont run, and all the solutions ive found have been unrelated to my current perdicament

Hi,

Are you trying to run it outside Visual Studio ? If so, then you should first call windeployqt on your application.

No, it won't run at all, both from visual studio debug/release mode, and just trying to run it, all methods result in the same message

Did you run windeployqt on the binary as suggested ?
