Hi Norm,
I think I'll wait .. there appears to be something wrong with this download.The 
file seems much bigger than advertised.

Right then it seems that this is more complicated on Windows than it needs to be.

I've uploaded the correct qwindows.dll to https://sourceforge.net/projects/qxlwin/files/Windows%2032-64bit/ so you will need to go there and fetch it.

In your QxlWin application directory, create a new directory called plugins.

Within this new directory, create a new directory called platforms.

Save the qwindows.dll in there.


Now it should work. The problem I have in testing with a completely bare CMD session, is that no matter whet I did, with or without that file present or not, it simply worked.

There's no Windows around here that has not got Qt installed (I only have it in a VM these days) so I'm unable to test this. From the docs on the Qt web site, it needs to be in the application/plugins/platforms folder.

Why they make this complicated I don't know, it was never like this on the previous versions.

Good luck. Let me know how you get on.


Cheers,
Norm.
