How do I fix the Qt platform plugin "windows" error?
Hi,
My Dropbox is complaining!
New PC, due to work, and now dropbox gives me this error message:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windo...
I found the solution here on the qt forums.
My problem originated with setting the environment variables to get anaconda working.
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=c:\Anaconda3\Library\plugins\
But by setting this it breaks everything else. So for now I've just gotten rid of the path variable.
To check if you have the env variable set1. Press <windows key> + R
2. Type "Control Panel"
3. Open system
4. Open advanced system settings on the left
5. Click on the environment variables button at the bottom
6. Browse through the user and system lists to see if QT_PLUGIN_PATH has been set.
I have been trying to tackle this same issue all day. I followed your steps completely as described above. I was able to locate the "qwindows.dll" and copy it to the Bin folder, however this did not solve the issue. I have tried uninstalling and re-downloading a fresh application and restarted of course.........but no luck. getting frustrated. I don't know what I am doing wrong. :( Anybody else have the same issues even after following the suggested steps above???
