Using Qt with Qt creator and visual studio on Windows 7: How to deploy for Windows 8

I am using using Qt 5.1.1 with Qt creator 2.8.1 and visual studio 2012 on Windows 7. Creating targets (*.exe files) and exchanging these targets between PCs running with Windows 7 is no problem. However, if I try to run these executables under Windows 8 they crash at startup (Eror code 0xc000007b). I think I have to compile my application for windows 8.

Is there any possibility to do this with my current setup? How do I add a target for Windows 8?

The problem is probably somewhere else.

For instance, QtCreator is built on Windows 7, and no one has reported any issues on Windows 8 so far.

You would just use the usual spec files that fit your toolchain setup, e.g. win32-msvc2012.

Here you can find a screenshot on my PC where this could be configured.

But really, that is pretty much about it. For solving the real problem, please take a look at the following threads below. It is possible as the first link writes that you have not deployed all the necessary dlls for your application.
