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.
Worked for me like this.
1. Find the folder were Dropbox is installed
2. Run the Uninstall.exe
3. Delete the Dropbox folder if it still exists
4. Download new Installer
5. Install it
6. Done
