I am deploying a Qt application for Windows 10 and when I try to run it outside of Qt Creator I get an error (0xc000a200).

Based on my research this looks like a windows 8+ specific error involving "AppContainers".

I have added LTLINKOPTS = $(LTLINKOPTS) "/APPCONTAINER" to my .pro file, and /APPCONTAINER to the LFLAGS in the makefile, neither has solved the issue.

Additionally, I did run windeployqt before this, and all qt dlls are present in the run directory.

.pro: 

win32 {
    INCLUDEPATH += C:/boost/
    LIBS += -LC:/boost/stage/lib
    Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS = ON
    LTLINKOPTS = $(LTLINKOPTS) "/APPCONTAINER"
}

Would really appreciate any guidance - this is my first windows Qt deployment.

  • The syntax of `Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS` looks like CMake syntax, not qmake so I am not sure it does anything here. So maybe you are missing Boost DLLs. Anyway, you can try to use a dependency checker like Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to see if you are missing any DLL. – Benjamin T Aug 14 '19 at 16:39
  • Hi - it's not clear whether you're intending to distribute a package (msi style) or merely build a fully-contained image. If the latter, you need to build a static version of your program, which in turn requires a static version of Qt. If the former, you'll want to look at https://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/ifw-creating-installers.html. If the latter, let me know, and I'll follow up with a detailed answer. – mzimmers Aug 14 '19 at 18:16

Another day of working on this and I found the issue. Turns out it was a missing dll problem. Although I had used windeployqt it must have missed some important bits.

Once I copied all of the dlls in the Qt/5.13//bin directory into the deploy directory AND ran windeployqt the program ran properly.
