I'm new to Qt, but have been working with Visual studio for C/C++ development for a few years. Now I'm trying to build a GUI for my project. I installed Qt 5.11.0 and the Qt VS Tools on both my work computer and home PC. At work I can build and run my project with the VS debugger, however on my home system I can build but can't run either with VS debugger or simply launching the app. I tried in release and it runs fine.
The error I'm getting is :
The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140D_APP.dll was not found.
I get 4 of these, the first two want VCRUNTIME, the second two want MSVCP140D_APP.dll.
Solutions I've tried so far :
Uninstalled Win SDK and reinstalled
Uninstalled VS2017 and SDK and reinstalled
Searched System32, SysWOW64 and VS install directories - found msvcp140d.dll and vcruntime140d.dll, but no _app.dlls
Does anyone know what these are included with and where to get them? I can't figure out why I have them on my work computer but not at home. I have the same VS updates, same Qt version, and SDK on both systems.
Using :
Visual Studio 2017 v15.7.1
Qt 5.11.0 - msvc2017_64
I suppose I can just copy the .dll's from my work pc and drop them in the appropriate locations on the other, but I'd like to know what they should have been installed with so I can have the same setup on both systems.
Edit:
I also tried changing the platform toolset to VS2015 with Qt versions msvc2015_64 and winrt_x64_msvc2015
I found this post concerning the same missing _app.dll files. There wasn't any answer there, which is why I tried reinstalling the SDK in the hope the missing files were included there.
Edit 2:
I just scanned my entire system at work and it turns out that I don't have the missing .dll there either. That tells me that there is a difference in the project properties or configuration between the two. I use git for source control, and I am currently the only contributor to this project. When I try to build and run just the example from the getting started guide I have the same problem at home with missing _app.dll files, however it works fine at work. I'm totally confused now, and any hints are greatly appreciated.
Solution:
After trying for a couple of hours making new solutions etc. I decided to delete the entire build folder and put fresh copies of all the dependencies into it. My project now runs fine in debugging mode.
I'm fairly certain that when I originally copied the Qt .dll files into it I must have grabbed them from one of the winrt folders rather than the msvc2017_64 folder. To test I replaced the working .dll files with those from the winrt_x64_msvc2017 folder and sure enough the same errors again. So, this was a dumb mistake on my part, but hopefully it'll save someone else a lot of hair-pulling in the future.

I’m having difficulty getting the sample code for tws api running. I’ve successfully run it on a borrowed laptop but the same version fails on my own windows 10 laptop. When running on Release mode in Win32, I get the popups
The code execution cannot proceed because biddll.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. and The procedure entry point ?cancelOrder#EClient##QAEXJ#Z could not be located in the >dynamic link library C:\Eclipse-workspace\TWS >API\samples\Cpp\TestCppClient\ReleaseTestCppClient.exe.
I’ve read through several questions similar to this. I’ve tried installing the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022 for both x86 and x64 from here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170. I’ve tried loading biddll.dll from another folder but it gives the message “Module was built without symbols.”. I’ve run “sfc /scannow” for broken files. The issue persists. biddll.dll still seems to not be anywhere in the system files or the API files. The only version is the one I copied from another version of the project.
Thanks for your suggestions. I uninstalled TWS API and reinstalled it. I made sure to build for Release. It sounds like there was a mismatch between some debug libraries and it started pulling them instead. There may have been some unexpected behavior from installing several versions while troubleshooting as well.
I've looked for an answer during a few days and I haven't found anything similar anywhere;
I downloaded Qt from the official website, installed it and apparently compiling is fine. But whenever I try to execute (Ctrl+R) any app, even the basic one which only displays a window or widget, QtCreator itself crashes. No error message, nothing, just crashing.
I've tried to redownload and reinstall it a few times with different settings, but nothing will do.
I'm running QtCreator on Windows 7 64 bits. I'll try on my laptop which is also running windows and will update if I find anything.
Any help would be appreciated, I need to start a project as soon as possible. I'm relatively new to QT and if you need info on anything just ask me. Thanks :)
Use dependency walker, http://www.dependencywalker.com/
and post any missing dependencies. It is possible some install targets or options are missing from when you installed QtCreator, which can be resolved with the maintenance tool in the same directory you installed Qt.
Also, are you using the Visual Studio compiler(must have Visual Studio installed separately, and mark the option during install), or the Ming compiler(2 options checked during install or maintenance)?
Check if your antivirus is locking it, I had a similar issue time ago and it was due to antivirus (Avast specifically). Disable antivirus' realtime shields and try to execute a basic app.
It is necessary to use QtCreator? I use QtDesigner snd VS2013 and things go very well. :)
check this thread Qt Creator Plain C++ Project won't run/debug... and this C++ - QtCreator doesn't show any output
Okay so I have read a few responses about this topic and can't seem to find someone having the same issue.
Why installing vcredist_x86.exe doesn't fix SideBySide error when I develop an EXE on one machine and run it on another one?
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/43681/Side-by-Side-Configuration-Incorrect
background: I work on Fortran code that use a few c++ libs that I don't have access to the code of. These were apparently built using VS2008, and this error has only started to occur since my machine had to be rebooted and I asked IT not to install VS2008 in addition to VS2012. I know that installing VS2008 will fix the problem, but that is not a good soultion.
The error is: unable to start program 'C:\blah\blah\blah.exe'. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Review the manifest file for possible errors. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. For more details, please see the application event log. The application event log tells me the same things listed in the first link posted.
Originally I was getting the problem so I looked up these articles and I went and installed the correct version of the VC C++ redist package (it is version 9.0.21022.8 for x86 source:the manifest file for the project). I originally installed the 64 bit, quickly determined I needed the 32 bit version and then installed that one.
I have the folders and files within for
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b59bae9d65014b98
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.mfcloc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b59bae9d65014b98
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.atl_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_b59bae9d65014b98
The related manifest files also seem to be there.
The program still doesn't run even though the files are there. What am I missing?
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate.
My Qt version is 5.2.1
Am using a specific build for VS2013 which I obtained from here.
Now, what I did:
Created a new Qt Application from Visual Studio.
Typed in my logic and the code.
Built it successfully in x64 Debug mode.
Ran the application successfully.
Everything good so far.
Now the problem:
I restart my Visual Studio and load the project.
It is built successfully (in x64 Debug).
Now, am unable to run it. I get the error:
The program can't start because Qt5Cored.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
It ran the first time when I created the application. Now it won't run.
I tried simulating the problem, and this happens everytime. Runs the first time, and doesn't run after Visual Studio restart.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
From project properties you have to go to debugging -> Environment -> and write PATH=qt5 dll paths Or you have to put the dlls next to the exe.
The first time you in debug mode. Probably in that case Qt5Cored.dll (with a d in the name) was used. Maybe in the second build, you build in release mode, and for some reason Qt5Core.dll is not found in the PATH.
here is what i did and it worked :D
first : make sure you are building a release version not a debug version
second : it asked for the qt5core.dll when you copy it to the same path of your program it may ask for other *.dll files so i put the program in the folder containing all the dlls :D
which is
C:\Qt\Qt5.7.0\5.7\mingw53_32\bin
or according to your installation ..it worked well
any way this folder (as i think) contains all DLL libraries you may need with your program
so to know what exactly you need from it try to start your program many times in another location and in every time you will know another dll needed according to your programming ..
that method worked but i think there may be a more cleaver solutions we have to dig for :)
i spent a lot of time trying to get these to install properly, so here i am.
I've already googled my problem countless times in different forms and still can't resolve it.
It's just very confusing because there are so many versions out there, and i don't even know how to build the binaries, if even have to do that, and i couldn't find the configure.exe. I don't have it after i installed QT5.
I have python, perl, Visual Studio, QT5,QT addin, and openssl installed.
When going to QT5, QT Options, then Add, add: C:\Qt\5.2.1\mingw48_32 as the path and got an error about qmake not found or something.
So I deleted libqtmain.a and libqtmaind.a as suggested by some site and that solved the problem.
I've also tried this: http://blog.kikicode.com/2011/09/qt-version-uses-unsupported-makefile.html
but i couldn't find the Trolltech folder, so i stopped.
But now my problem is this
"This QT version uses an unsupported makefile generator (used: MINGW, supported: MSVN.NET, MSBUILD).
I don't even have a configure.exe file, and can't launch it from the visual studio command line.
I really have no idea what to do. I've been attacking this problem for all of yesterday, and i've ran out of steps today. Please help me.
I don't have the express version of VS. Just so you know.
I just solved this issue. It get me mad, but is easy.
The Add-in looks to $(QTDIR)\mkspecs\default to know which one to use. The "default" folder is not created after configure and build Qt.
So the way I solved is to copy&paste the "win32-msvc2013" folder as "default".
And now the Add-in recognised Qt.
BTW, after build the sources "nmake", I make an install of them in another folder so I have just the binaries and tools but not all the source that I don't need for develop software based on Qt.
Once the compilation is complete, then type:
Set the root where the installation will be, ex:
set INSTALL_ROOT=\Sw\Qt\qt-4.8.5-install
Execute in your source's root the command:
nmake install
So after trying everything i decided to run compile the binaries.
I think not a lot of people have this problem and there is no solution on the internet because the 2013 addin is very new. So here is what i did, and what worked for me, after countless hours of trying.
I downloaded the zip located under the main downloads on their webpage: http://qt-project.org/downloads
I uninstalled the old QT. (kept the addin)
I unzipped the zip it into a folder i named QT at C:\
Then i ran the configure.bat located inside.
On the Visual Studio cmd i cd to the C:\QT\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1
directory where the configure file is,
Tried running the 'configure' file, there was no configure.exe. Then i ran 'nmake', that took like three hours.
The i went into C:\QT\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1\qtbase\qmake
and made a folder bin where i copied the qmake.exe found in that same folder.
Finally i went into the VS addin, qt, qt options and i added that directory.
And it works!
I'm using Qt 5.6, msvc2014, but had the same issue at first. This issue was solved for me by updating to Add-in 1.2.5 without changing anything else.
