    Well Qt creates an executable file on its own but what I want to know is how can we run that file on other environment where qt is not installed?

      Hi
      Its called a deployment folder.
      Basically you collects the needed DLL files and put with .exe to make it run on "new" pc.
      There is a tool to help
      http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html
      Also i like info from here

        Take a look at deployment docs https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html

        In short: you need to run windeployqt
