I've found the explanation of deploying Qt binaries on windows here:

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/windows-deployment.html

I did like you said. And now I have the next error message:

"This application failed to start because it could not find or load the 
Qt platform plugin "windows".

Available platform plugins are: minimal, offscreen, windows.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

What wrong now?
