Utkarsh, Thanks for your reply.
I eventually managed to get something working, but I had to turn off shared libraries. Is there any reason why switching to shared libs would break things (aside from the obvious -- i.e. wrong DLL being picked up)? Does Qt have to be built with shared libs as well for this to work (Qt is built statically -- which I wouldn't think would be a problem)?

That won't work. If not, make sure your PATH is clean and is not bringing in other versions of Qt, ParaView. We build/test with VS2013 with no issues. I personally have built with VS2015 with no issues to report either -- although in both cases we use Ninja as the generator rather than the VS project files.
