    Description

      I get the warning:

      Warning: Cannot find Visual Studio redist directory, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC;\redist\MSVC.

      My guess is that within qtbase/src/tools/windeployqt/main.cpp, static QString vcRedistDir(), vcRedistDirName is getting the path with a space on the end. Then redist/MSVC gets appended. Then QDir::toNativeSeparators(vcRedistDirName).toStdWString() changes the space to a semicolon separator.
