[Development] Qt5-Beta build from Git on Windows --> Failed to load platform plugin "windows"

[Labs, Torsten]

Hi Kai,

I got the message that IESHIMS.DLL and WER.DLL is missing. Is that normal?

Greetings

You really want to use the windows plugin. Find out why it doesn't load. Depends.exe (Dependency Walker) [1] will help you:
 - load plugins\platforms\windows.dll. Add the path to QTDIR\libs to "Module Search Order". Check for missing dependencies (ignoring IESHMS.dll, GPSVC.dll)
 - if this doesn't show anything obvious, depends also allows you to profile an actual run. Load your .exe file and click "Profile", "Start Profiling..."

Kai
