    Description

      This bug has been present for many versions! I found a temporary fix called windeployqtreleaseonly.exe that works. Apparently in release mode for some reason the application has trouble with path names.

      I am using Windows 10 (up to date...), MinGW810_32. My command line:

      windeployqt.exe --release --no-translations --no-system-d3d-compiler --dir
         ./QtDeploy --plugindir ./QtDeploy/plugins ./QtDeploy/CompositeFVC.exe
      

      Here is the output:

      D:\kcbdev\bips_svn\BIPS10\CompositeFVC\QtDeploy\CompositeFVC.exe 32 bit, release executable
      Direct dependencies: Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets Qt5Xml
      All dependencies : Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets Qt5Xml
      To be deployed : Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets Qt5Xml
      Unable to find the platform plugin.
      Press any key to continue . . .
      

      And, there is nothing in the target folder QtDeploy/plugins

      If I put windeployqtreleaseonly in the folder with windeployqt.exe, things run fine:

      D:\kcbdev\bips_svn\BIPS10\CompositeFVC\QtDeploy\CompositeFVC.exe 32 bit, release executable
