I'm having trouble deploying software from my PC (on which I am developing our app) to our tablets (which are identical to our clients' systems). Both use windows and the msvc compilers are up to date on both of the systems. I know the tablets meet the system requirements for the runtime, because I've been able to build and deploy sample apps. For instance, on the tablets, I can build and deploy the basic 'Display Map' sample if I comment out
import Esri.ArcGIS Extras 1.1
but if I don't, the app loads, but nothing is rendered:
I understand that the extras require more .dll files. I'm able to deploy apps with the Extras component (to any location on disk) on the development PC even if I explicitly set the runtime environment variable:
ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment::setInstallDirectory(QDir::currentPath());
I should note, that I am not actually using the extras component in my app. Deployment of the sample apps was part of my attempt to diagnose the issue, and I came across that problem. To deploy my app on the development PC, I take the following steps:
1. Compile my release in QtCreator. This stores the executable here:
C:\Users\cnuckols\ArcGIS\AppStudio\Apps\build-ULIP-Desktop_Qt_5_10_0_MSVC2017_64bit-Release
And the storage folder for my source code is:
C:\Users\cnuckols\ArcGIS\AppStudio\Apps\ULIP\
2. Move the executable to a folder on my desktop:
C:\Users\cnuckols\Desktop\Deployment2\ULIP.exe
3. Use the qt deployment tool for windows:
I should note that I've tried this with and without the angle option.
4. Copy the sdk runtime .dlls to the deployment folder:
Here are the contents of my deployment folder:
5. I run the app, and it works correctly. However, when I move the deployment2 folder to the tablet it executes, but nothing is rendered:
I get no error messages and no warnings.
To further clarify, when I look at which dlls are being used by ULIP.exe in the tablet, msvcp140.dll and vcruntime140.dll. are both listed (the ones contained in System32):
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCP140.dll
and
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\VCRUNTIME140.dll
-I have read the page on deploying the app:
Deploy your app—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt | ArcGIS for Developers
-I have read the system requirements page for the newer runtime:
System requirements for 100.3.0—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt | ArcGIS for Developers
-I have read every geonet thread on deployment issues for the Qt SDK
-I am using the QtQuick Compiler
-I've been using the Qt windows deployment tool and have read the Qt page about using the tool:
Qt for Windows - Deployment | Qt 5.11
Thanks!
