qt - windeployqt.exe not working ? Application does not start -


i have simple application using 

qt += core gui network webkitwidgets

i've used windeployqt.exe generate 32 bits release on win-10 64 bit computer. when put folder on win-7 64 bit desktop , double-click app.exe, never starts.

i can see in task manager, can't kill it, , if try cannot close explorer folder in double clicked anymore.

i've checked usual platform, icu, qwindows.dll, , on.

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html

edit precisions:

i've compiled default 32 bit kit: "build-test-desktop_qt_5_5_1_mingw_32bit-release" "mingw492_32"

i have package "release" generated windeployqt.exe using --webkit switch. start command prompt:

> set path= > set mingw=
  • then make sure no qt/mingw things exists anymore in environment variables.
  • i rename "c:\qt" "c:\ __qt".
  • i move release folder on desktop.
  • i start release\test.exe ( clean path shell )

everything runs fine! release/test.exe has needs without path/mingw variable.

but put folder on windows machine ( 7 instead of 10 ) never starts.

  • i tried dependency walker. shows lot of "api-ms-win*.dll" missing...
  • it shows more missing dlls on "good" machine on bad 1 !!!
  • every single "missing dll" on "bad" target machine in system32 on machine.

thanks advice, every advice welcome, i'm bit desperate... :)

edit

it seems related machine itself. have deployed (very small) app 2 non developer machine on win7 , win8 respectively. above "bad machine" still resits running it...

edit

the problem seems not general related 1 particular machine. hence, feel free close or move appropriate forum not related qt/windeplyqt. if figure out solution, , question closed, i'll add last edit. safe boot , malwarebyte next actions.

after long investigation.

  1. do not believe dependency walker, used top notch tool outdated.
  2. if there missing dll, system prompt "cannot load dll xxx.dll" anyway.

  3. your best shot in case soft runs on machine x not on machine y is:

    1. start in safe mode ( run: msconfig --> diagnostic startup )
    2. turn off antivirus or non microsoft/driver software,
    3. "run administrator".

  4. if can run step 3. proceed elimination:

    1. run without admin rights,
    2. start anti spyware, etc...
    3. add appropriate exception antivirus if root cause.
    4. if antivirus not root cause, run process monitor on both machines. compare, failed on 1 machine , not other ? read windows event log , compare error messages on both machines.
  5. run sfc /scannow check disk
  6. run complete anti spyware scan/ pc-repair tool ( malwarebytes, combofix, ... )
  7. make sure have same package on both machines, make sure not trying run exe on mac os, make sure computer on.
  8. call oracle, in matrix...

in case problem avast , solved adding appropriate exception.
