Hi Graham,
As others have confirmed, the libs library path set in qt.conf cannot be used to redirect where Qt is loaded from - worse, it may not have any relationship to the running dll's! If the defaults of the other locations (like plugins) works for you, then there is no need to install the qt.conf file at all. ;O) Regards.

Is this situation the same on Linux? What CAN qt.conf be used for? Thanks From: Tony Rietwyk [mailto:t...@rightsoft.com.au] Sent: 20 March 2012 10:40 To: Graham Labdon Subject: RE: [Interest] qt.conf Hi Graham, Windows doesn't know anything about the qt.conf file. So the Qt code itself has to be running before it can read the file. When you install on another machine, you can add the lib path to the PATH variable, or copy the lib dll's into the exe's folder, or use a script file to setup the environment and call your exe, or... Hope that helps, Tony. Sent: Tuesday, 20 March 2012 8:44 PM Hi I am trying to use the qt.conf functionality In my qt.conf file I have the following [Paths] prefix = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\AcquisitionSoftware\\Qt <file:///\\AcquisitionSoftware\Qt> " Running the app through the debugger I can use QLibraryInfo to verify that Qt is recognising the presence of the conf file I.e. QLibraryInfo::location(QLibraryInfo::LibrariesPath) returns C:/Program Files (x86)/AcquisitionSoftware/Qt/lib However running the application on a machine without Qt installed fails as it cannot locate QCore4.dll Note that on the target machine the folder C:/Program Files (x86)/AcquisitionSoftware/Qt/lib exists and contains QCore4.dll Is this a known problem or am I doing something incorrectly? Thanks
