Dear Andrea,

The following Windows version is installed on my computer: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) - 14.36.32532

The workaround you suggested solved the problem! On my computer msvcp140.dll was located in OSGeo4W\bin and I copied it to OSGeo4W\apps\Qt5\bin.

As an alternative, Thomas Nogatz suggested the following, which also worked: Start the OSGeo4W shell (type "OSGeo..." in Windows search). In the shell, enter "designer and press enter.

Many thanks!

Jochem

Hi Jochem,
it looks like the issue may be related to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable version installed in your (and my) Windows system. Could you please indicate the version of the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed in your system?

To workaround the issue, you could copy the file msvcp140.dll from apps\bin to apps\qt5\bin.

Then you should launch the Qt Designer normally from the shortcut link icon "Qt Designer with QGIS ... custom widgets".

Regards.

Andrea
