Use the appropriate version of msvcrt.dll for your app.
I don't understand this.Quote:

No, put it in the same folder as your executable.
i did your solution but no luck.
I solved this problem by removing any system library from my installer except libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
You should check the license before putting any dll into your installer. For example, msvcrt is a Microsoft library and they require that you distribute the "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Redistributable" rather than random DLLs.
what will be the harm if I ignored the license?
Worse case? You get sued.Quote:

You should read the case against Christian Ghisler, who did a shareware app called Windows Commander. It was years before he received a cease and desist order from Microsoft, as they didn't like him using the name "Windows" in his software. Rather than going to court, he just changed the name (which, for a popular program, can be a complete nightmare - it's not exactly a simple recompile)
thanks for information.
Hello,
Had a similar issue some time ago. I think you have two options :
1) install the "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Redistributable" on your target PC (it can be downloaded from MS the website)
2) build a fully static application
Building a fully static application requires you to rebuild Qt as a 'static' build. For MingW, there still is a dependency on some mingw DLL. For VS, you have to make changes to the qmake.conf file in your mkspecs directory ( change the MD compiler flag to MT, and add /NODEFAULTLIB:â€MSVCRT†to the linker flags).
After several rebuilds and searching a lot of forums, I now finally have a standalone .EXE that I can just copy onto another PC :cool:
Best regards,
Marc
Don't forget static applications have different licensing requirements than dynamic ones. A lot of people seem to forget this.
