The windows firewall is off. There is no other firewall software running.

It's not quite clear to me, who loads that dll and what it's purpose. I guess 
(based on e.g. reading static void qDumpQDateTime(QDumper &d)), that it is 
loaded by the QtCreator and that the purpose is to extract informations from 
memory pointers returned by the gdb debugger interface. Is that right?

I saw that it tries to load the dll. with / as path separators instead of \. May 
that cause problems?

Currently I don't have the time to dive deeper into this. But maybe you may help 
make QtCreator more verbose than just saying 'access denied'.
