Program not working right on other windows machines - c++

Question

I'm having a problem with my application, in which I'm trying to get all network configurations of the system that it runs on. The final goal is to find the MAC address with highest priority.
The code runs ok and works when I run it with QtCreator and also runs ok when I create a folder containing the dll files and the exe file.
But the problem is that when I run this program on other windows machines (7 and 10) it runs but does not return or show anything. I tried running it as an Administrator, that didn't work neither and this code should be able to work on all windows platforms.
Any suggestions?
I'm currently on Windows 10 and using Qt 5.8 MSVC 2015
The exe file runs with these dlls on Windows 10:
Qt5Core.dll
Qt5Network.dll
msvcp140.dll
msvcr120.dll
vcruntime140.dll
These dlls should be also there for windows 7:
api-ms-win-core-file-l1-2-0.dll
api-ms-win-core-file-l2-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-0.dll
api-ms-win-core-processthreads-l1-1-1.dll
api-ms-win-core-string-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll
api-ms-win-core-timezone-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-environment-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-filesystem-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-multibyte-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-time-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-utility-l1-1-0.dll
Link below is the exe and dll files together:

I downloaded your app and analyze it on my computer.
problem is you missing some dlls, your app running without error but not working properly. (qgenericbearer.dll , qnativewifibearer.dll with folder bearer are missing ).
you can use windeploy command to deploy your project.
go to Qt, compiler directory on your OS for example:
C:\Qt\Qt5.7.0\5.7\msvc2013\bin
press Shift+right click mouse then click open command window here
type windeployqt.exe c:\Your app directory for example:
windeployqt.exe C:\Users\Mofrad\Downloads\macfindertest\macFinderTest\macAddressTest.exe
now some dlls will copy to your app directory.
Now try your app again and you'll see it's working.
