I built the release version and tried to run it from the file
explorer.  It failed with the error "The procedure entry point
_Z5qFreePv could not be located in the dynamic link library
QtCore4.dll" so it seems to be able to find the dll, but there is a
missing symbol in it.

Maybe verify your Qt Creator Settings, the "Qt4" node: make sure it detects the proper Qt version. I would expect that this setting then also makes sure that within Qt Creator environment the proper PATH is set.

Qt Creator is detecting the correct Qt version.  I'm still unsure
whether the error I'm getting when I try to run it from Qt Creator is
the same as the dependency problems when I run it from the file
explorer.

Thanks,
