Hi Igor,

I have the following list of files installed in the target dir on Windows:

bin/executable.exe
bin/icudt51.dll
bin/icuin51.dll
bin/icuuc51.dll
bin/libeay32.dll
bin/libEGL.dll
bin/libGLESv2.dll
bin/qt.conf
bin/Qt5Core.dll
bin/Qt5Gui.dll
bin/Qt5Network.dll
bin/Qt5OpenGL.dll
bin/Qt5PrintSupport.dll
bin/Qt5Qml.dll
bin/Qt5Quick.dll
bin/Qt5Sensors.dll
bin/Qt5Sql.dll
bin/Qt5V8.dll
bin/Qt5WebKit.dll
bin/Qt5WebKitWidgets.dll
bin/Qt5Widgets.dll
bin/Qt5Xml.dll
bin/ssleay32.dll
plugins/platforms/qwindows.dll
plugins/sqldrivers/qsqlite.dll

I have run the vcredist as part of the install procedure. It's Qt 5.1 
with visual studio 2010.

The qt.conf file in bin looks like this:

[Paths]
Prefix = ..

This is what I did to make Qt find the plugins in the place where I 
wanted it.

I hope this helps.

Bo.
