[Interest] How to run a WinRT app on a Window 8 intel tablet?

[Oliver Wolff]

Hi,

I am afraid that deployment to a device from Creator only works for 
Windows Phone but not for Windows Tablets. For Tablets you have to 
package/deploy everything manually using windeployqt for example. The 
other option (that I would tend to avoid) would be building on your 
tablet (if it has an x86 CPU).
Another option would be to use Visual Studio. There it should be 
possible to select your tablet and deploy the application you created 
(for example by calling qmake -tp vc CONFIG+=windeployqt).
Some more information can be found on 
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/winrt-support.html#package-content but the content 
here is partially outdated and being updated at the moment. The D3D 
shader service for example is no longer needed.

BR,
Olli
