Trouble deploying QT exe for Windows
Using QT creator 4.7.1 I make a new qt widgets application.
I select release mode 
then I build the project.
in the release folder, my exe looks like this
now I open the command line and run the command
windeployqt.exe C:UsersroberDesktopbuild-testingqtrelease-Desktop_Qt_5_11_2_MSVC2017_64bit-Releasereleasetestingqtrelease.exe
which results in this
upon attempting to run the exe I get an error message.
So I did a bit of research and found many sources talking about copying different dll's from mingw730_64 an other but none of these worked for me.
I'm new to QT so I'm not sure if I'm making a simple mistake.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you tried the Qt Windows deployment tool?
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html
You drag the exe of your program over the WinDeploy.exe tool, then it resolves anything. There is similar for linux too.

I suggest you to use Qt built with msvc 2015 32 to have the Qt applications working on Windows 2012 (32/64) up to now, and Windows 7 (32/64) up to now, but this is not the answer of your question.
To help you how to know which are the required dlls please use the application windeployqt in the bin subfolder of Qt framework.
Passing as argument your exe, the utility will copy the required dlls and plugins in your exe subfolder.
After please have a look ad the qt.conf file. This is a file used by Qt application to know where the plugins are stored and other stuffs.
Please try to download this
https://github.com/denisgottardello/BackupTo
and have a look at the qt.conf file, resource file and .pro file.

to find your right version check your build settings :

mine was located here: F:QT5.12.0msvc2017_64bin
now, simply drag the qt, compiled exe onto the "windeployqt.exe" and it should download the appropriate dll's

Ok, i solved it, apparently the command

didn't work due to the version incompatibility between the qt build version and the windeployqt.exe
to find your right version check your build settings :
