To simplify things: I used the following .pro file

Qt Code:
  1. ######################################################################
  2. # Automatically generated by qmake (2.01a) Tue May 29 23:32:12 2007
  3. ######################################################################
  4.  
  5. TEMPLATE = app
  6. TARGET =
  7. DEPENDPATH += .
  8. INCLUDEPATH += .
  9.  
  10. # Input
  11. HEADERS += dialog.h
  12. SOURCES += dialog.cpp main.cpp
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

to create a Visual Studio project using qmake (WindowsXP). This is the simple "basic layout" Qt demo that comes with the Qt installation. It compiles/runs fine, but when I copy

basiclayout.exe (release version)
QtCore4.dll
QtGui4.dll

to a directory on another computer that doesn't have Qt installed and try to run it, I get error:

The Application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.

What am I missing?
