Deployment Question
Quote from d.a.howkins on 17. January 2024, 12:12I have been asked to make QBlade available to a group of Windows 10 machines
I wrote a simple batch file that copies the zip file t0 “C:\Program Files\QBladeCE_2.0.6.4”
But when I run QBladeCE_2.0.6.exe I get an error :-
This application failed to start because no QT platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem
Any advise ?
Cheers
David

Quote from David on 17. January 2024, 13:25Hi David,
you are getting the error because the /platforms folder, that contains the library qwindows.dll is missing.
I would advise to also copy all other subfolders, contained in the QBlade .zip archive, as some required binary files and libraries would be missing otherwise.

Thank you
I didn’t include all the switches when I did the xcopy
This did the job for us
Unzipped your zip file then :-
install.bat
———–
Xcopy “%cd%\QBladeCE_2.0.6.4\*.*” “C:\Program Files\QBladeCE_2.0.6.4\” /h/i/c/k/e/r/y/v
echo f | Xcopy “%cd%\QBlade 2.0.6.lnk” “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\QBlade 2.0.6.lnk” /Yuninstall.bat
—————
RD /S /Q “C:\Program Files\QBladeCE_2.0.6.4”
IF EXIST “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\QBlade 2.0.6.lnk” DEL /S /Q “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\QBlade 2.0.6.lnk”David
