Missing file [Qt]

I'm successfully going through proccess of building an application in Qt but when I try to run .exe file by double clicking on it (outside of qt) I'm getting an error saying: "The program can't start because mingwm10.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I checked for this file and I found it, so I think there is some path to be set in qt, but I don't know neither where and how to do it. Could anyone explain to me how to do it? Thank you.

You can go to the location where your Qt application is installed and then navigate to "..\Qt\5.11.3\mingw53_32\bin" directory. The search for the missing .dll files, copy them to the location where your .exe file is situated and then re-run the application. If more than one files are missing try the same for them.

This isn't something that should be set in Qt. Your application is looking for a DLL it can't find, mingwm10.dll. You can either copy the DLL (and it's dependencies if there are any) near your .exe, or add the directory it's in to the environment variable PATH.

I think you need to add the directory containing mingwm10.dll to your PATH environment variable. I am surprised this was not configured correctly when you installed Qt/MinGW.

Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> PATH
