I've just about finished a program and I'm going to host a windows build of it on this website I visit.

For the VB programs distributed on the website, the website also hosts the VB runtimes needed for those programs. To get the programs working you download the runtime library installer and the libraries are installed on your system.

I was just wondering if there was a similar type of program for Qt. A program that would easily install the Qt libraries on a users system. People wouldn't like it if I told them they had to add the libraries to their system directories themselves.

I already knew everything in that post you linked me to.

What I was wondering is if trolltech created some kind of offical Qt runtime lib installer for windows.

If they havn't I guess I'll have to create my own.

No, I don't think that such thing exists. You will have to distribute Qt along with your application.
