how does Qt knows Qt-dll path in windows

[lyuts]

QtAssistant finds these dlls because these dlls and QtAssistant itself are located in the same directory.

Good Catch,
i should have noticed it.
Is there a mechanism without specifying the path the application should be able to find the dlls .Similar to rpath in unix-like systems

The only alternative is to place the DLLs in a system-wide directory, like C:\Windows\System32

Thanks
If i run a program from Qt Creator i dont need to place the dlls in system-wide directories or in the program's directory.

How does this work.

It probably modifies the system path (hence the directory becomes "system-wide").
