Hello,<div><br></div><div>After the good experience I had with pyqt5 on Linux I decided to give it a shot on Windows. I was able to build the application easily enough (using qtwidgets and qtsql), but I am having issues deploying it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>py2exe generated a folder with a lot of dll files, but it didn't include the necessary plugins, copying the contents of the plugins/ directory into the executable's directory seems to have helped (no longer getting a message that qt's windows plugin is missing) but now the application simply crashes as soon as it starts. The error message it displays is an uninformative "program.exe stopped working". I tried to run the executable from the commandline in the hopes of catching some output telling me what I did wrong, but nothing was displayed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I know this is not a "learn to develop on windows" mailing list and apologize for asking this here, but the problem seems so pyqt related that I was hoping that I see nowhere else I can turn.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Afief</div></div>
