After performing the install procedure, I tried to open qt creator and I got this message. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: direct2d, minimal, offscreen, windows. Can you help me? With Qt, you can reach all your target platforms – desktop & embedded – with one technology and one codebase, minimizing your time-to-market and maintenance burden. Qt is available under a dual-licensing model — you choose what’s right for your needs.

The Qt Software Development Kit (SDK) is a cross-platform application framework that is widely used for developing application software with a graphical user interface (GUI). It is a portable cross platform application user interface framework which works on the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems. Qt SDK helps you create graphical user interfaces (GUI's) for your applications that will run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Some popular cross-platform applications that were created using the Qt SDK are KDE, Google Earth, Skype, Linux Multimedia Studio and the VLC multimedia player. Essentially cross-platform means that Qt applications that you create on Microsoft Windows via the source code are usually transferable to Linux and the Mac OS X operating systems and vice versa.Notes: Upgraded Qt SDK 4.8 instructions and added instructions for Qt SDK 5.0

from your Qt build to the folder containing your executable. This should get it running.Qt Platform Plugin Missing Windows 10

Check whether you have an environment variable (system-wide or user-level) QT_PLUGIN_PATH defined. If so, try to remove it (or rename for later restoration).I had one Qt program installed which added this environment variable during its installation procedure and afterwards was unable to even start QtCreator or other self-built Qt5 programs even though the 'platforms' subdirectory was present and contained the required dlls. You may have to reboot for the change to take effect.

I got this exact error on linux.
First, defining this environment variable before starting qtcreator causes more debug to be printed out:
And then in the debug it said this when trying to start qtcreator from the commandline on ubuntu 18.04:
Nov 13, 2012 Internet Explorer 10 (Windows 7) (x64) Change Log New features Support for CSS3 multi-column layout, CSS3 grid layout, CSS3 flexible box layout, CSS3 gradients, ES5 strict mode, and a new user agent string. Jun 10, 2013 KB976002 includes a ’Select Later’ option that in some circumstances may not be displayed for new installations of Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7. Download Update for Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 7 x64 Edition (KB2859903) from Official Microsoft Download Center. Insights with dashboards and reports. Download explorer 10 windows 7 64 bit.
Note that it cannot find libxkbcommon-x11, so the fix was this:
Now qtcreator starts.
