can't run compiled QT apps on windows
I am using QT Creator 1.3.0 Based on QT 4.6 on Windows XP
My application compiles but when I try to run it from the command prompt I get
"The application has failed to start because mingwm10.dll wasn ot found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
Things I've tried:
1. reinstalling MinGW and adding C:\MinGW\Bin to my environment variables. RESULT: same thing
2. looked for mingwm10.dll on the internet and tried to place it in C:\WINNT\System32 RESULT: this solves this error but then another comes up saying theres a missing gcc_lib or something which made me beleive this is not the right way to fix this.
3. Tried to follow these instructions but couldn't because I could not find the file mkspecs they are talking about. http://blog.lugru.com/2009/03/qt-static-mingwm10dll-and-deployment-under-windows-environment/
How do I fix this?

You can also run dependecy walker on mingwm10.dll to find out what that DLL needs and put them also on %PATH% or as I said simply in Windows or system32 folder near mingwm10.dll

Should be in QT or GCC installation, do a search on C:\ driver to find them and then put them in C:\Windows\System32 or Windows folder itself

I looked for the files on my C Drive and found them to be all in C:\Qt\2009.05\qt\bin
I had added this to my environment variables but it still wouldnt worl because C:\WINNT\System32 was specified before C:\Qt\2009.05\qt\bin in the Environment path.
Fixed! Thanks alot
