[Qt-interest] Can't load qsqldriver

[Ross Bencina]

There's also another common way it can fail.

If you're deploying the ms runtime by putting Microsoft.VC80.CRT next to 
your exe in myAppDir, and the client doesn't have the correct version of 
msvcrt installed, you may get a message box with a message something like 
"Cannot load sqlite database driver!"

As far as I know, there are three workarounds:

1. Ship Microsoft.VC80.CRT using an installer which installs it globally to 
the system (this is the most kosher method)
2. Static link the sqlite driver (that's what I do).
3. Put a second copy of Microsoft.VC80.CRT  in /myAppDir/sqldrivers

HTH
