As Eike already mentioned opengl32sw.dll is only used as a last fallback, so this migh explain the difference too. Bad enough, I had hopes the software renderer really works across all graphics drivers :( (It doesn't crash for me btw with a stock Windows XP in VirtualBox). > + also for now installing the MSVC2013 dlls into the bowels of Windows, > the vanilla Qt 5.4.1 installs them alongside qtcreator.exe and as you know > this > is heavily frowned upon by Microsoft.

I don't think we've changed anything in this regard, we've been installing vcredist for MSVC2010 previously, now vcredist for MSVC2013 ... > Rgrds Henry Thanks a lot for the testing :) > P.S. BTW saw that 3.3.81 brings along Timeline.dll, is that a new feature (QML > profiler stuff)? Not really a feature, just factoring out stuff in a separate dll AFAIK.
