QPluginLoader doesn't support .a files, only DLL files.

What is the error that is reported?

There is no error message. The if(plugin) return false when it shouldnt. I also tried to put the dll and the exe in the same folder but it also didn't work

Where is the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2 macro?

I know you fixed this now, but when it returns false, typically QPluginLoader::errorString () is set to some message to explain why. Are you saying this was an empty string?
