LPub3D 2.0 Released

[Trevor Sandy]

I've installed 2.0.4 MinGW version, which is already good. Unfortunately it doesn't start. The error it gives me states:

Code:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the
Qt platform plugin "windows".

Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.

Please note I've been using 64-bit version previously. So if there is anything that had to be installed previously - it is not.

Aleksandr,

This behavior should not be happening under an expected installation approach. Here is what I mean:

You have 2 options to install LPub3D - one by using the NSIS installer-packaged distribution and the other is just to unzip the 'portable' distribution (.zip).

For both cases, you will notice under the root install directory there is a 'plugin' directory called 'platforms' and within that directory there is a 'qwindows.dll'.

If your distribution was successfully installed or unzipped you should no be experiencing the missing plugin behaviour since the plugin is in fact not missing.

If you were previously running the installer-packaged x64 MSVC distribution (of version 2.0.3 let's say), I would recommend a you do a complete uninstall before installing the installer-packaged MinGW distribution. However, you can test the MinGW installation by just unzipping the portable distribution and launching the exe.

Let me know if your are still experiencing this message after following an expected installation approach.

Cheers,
