Unable to run deployed application

AlexAverill

I have been trying to test the deployment process of a QML application that is based off of the default QML project sample.

I can build and run it fine in the editor,but once I go to deploy and test the application I cannot get the executable to start.

I have run windeployqt, and also manually copied over the dll files from the SDK folders.

Winqtdeploy command :

 C:\Qt\5.12.4\msvc2017_64\bin\windeployqt --release --qmldir C:\Users\USER\Documents\ArcGis_QML_ONLY_Testing\ .\ArcGis_QML_ONLY_Testing.exe

Additionally I have tried pointing to the \qml\ directory that is generated, and still no luck.

Is there something that I have missed?

Hi Alex,

Do you mean the application opens then immediately closes, or does it open on a blank screen?

winqtdeploy doesn't deploy additional dependencies, so double-check that:

* The SSL libraries (ssleay32 and libeay32) have been copied over to your destination folder.

* The ArcGIS libraries (runtimecore and EsriCommonQt) have been copied over to your destination folder.

If you are trying to deploy something following the ArcGIS template structure, then maybe you need: --qmldir C:\Users\USER\Documents\ArcGis_QML_ONLY_Testing\qml instead of --qmldir C:\Users\USER\Documents\ArcGis_QML_ONLY_Testing\

A third thing to check is that sometimes windeployqt doesn't always pick up all the dependencies it should, you could try adding the following lines: `-core -quick -multimedia -positioning -sensors` and see if this changes anything.

If it looks like a QML issue: I'd suggest downloading Windows Sysinternals, and running DebugView. If you run DebugView while opening the application, check if there is any  "Missing QML package" output in the DebugView.
