The Windows deployment tool is designed to automate the process of creating a deployable folder containing the Qt-related dependencies (libraries, QML imports, plugins, and translations) required to run the application from that folder.

When trying to install the PySide2 wheel onto another workstation than the one we used to compile PySide2 we get the following error message: This application failed to start because it could not find or load Qt platform plugin 'windows' in '. I understand the 'qwindows.dll' file usually goes in the 'app.exe/platforms' folder but in PySide2 cases I'm not sure where to locate those files for Qt to find them. My only fix so far is to point the 'QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH' env to the 'qwindows.dll' folder. Is there a way to avoid the issue, is this a bug?
