Qt Platform Plugin Windows 4,5/5 5149 votes

When trying to install the PySide2 wheel onto another workstation than the one we used to compile PySide2 we get the following error message: This application failed to start because it could not find or load Qt platform plugin 'windows' in '. I understand the 'qwindows.dll' file usually goes in the 'app.exe/platforms' folder but in PySide2 cases I'm not sure where to locate those files for Qt to find them.

Hi, just an update on why QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 doesn't work as expected when you launch a Qt app from the command line (as it does on Linux and Macs): I found that for Windows MSVC and MinGW compilers, Qt routes the texts to OutputDebugString(), that's why the CMD window shows no output.
