I would like a simple way to distribute a QT Windows application to a few friends for evaluation. I was hoping to put the .EXE file in a directory with the necessary .DLLs and plugins and then launch the application from the folder.

I can construct such a folder on my development computer and it all works. I copy the folder to another computer and it crashes before I even get the splash screen! I get the option to start the debugger (Visual Studio), so I do and get told:

QTGUI4.DLL 0xC0000005 Access Violation

I check the stack and see that its at: 0x651B591A within QTGUI4.DLL.

I go to a different computer and get the same result.

I have been fighting with this all day trying different tricks to make sure the plug-ins and DLLs are all there; even explicitly calling QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath( ). No Luck.

What am I missing?

Respectfully,
