I'm not sure about how creator configures the .pro file, but you can remove 
the line CONFIG+=console and the dos box will go away.

It's common practice to scope that line to debug so you can see output for 
broken signal/slot connections on windows. I would be willing to bet that 
Creator does it that way. Are you sure you are building release binaries?
