Solved Qt program fails to run after windows update

[TobbY]

@milan said in Qt program fails to run after windows update:

1073741515

I searched and found out that the error means
-1073741515 is equal to 0xC0000135 meaning STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND.
It means some missing dependencies according to new link. Maybe you can try to reinstall Qt and see if it works.

@TobbY . Thanks for your reply, but installing Qt takes a really lot time. If some other solutions exist, it would be better.

Hi,
I have searched this issue. Mostly people having problem with windows platform plugin, generally happens after windows update.
Usefull link for same case.

@TobbY . Reinstalling the Qt creator wont help. I tried once.

Hi
Do you mean when you run app in deployment folder, stand alone or via
Creator. Also are you using visual studio compiler ?

[milan]

@mrjj . the program crashes when run from Qt Creator. Yes, I am using MSVC compiler 2017x64

@milan
Hi
You can try to run a repair via the visual studio installer.
Also check your kits are ok.

The program failed because windows update deleted some dll while update happened. Restoring the dlls again, fixed the issue.

Hi
For reference, do u know name of that DLL?

@milan

[milan]

@mrjj. Yes, I only have run-time error, the building has no problem

@milan
Yes, it won't fail if dynamic linked so just check to understand why
it died running from creator.
