Installation relocation is broken

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi there, I have just installed the 
qt-win64-opensource-patched-4.6.3-vs2008.exe under Windows 7 x64 and I cannot 
get it use the installation directory; it insists on using C:\Qt\4.6.3_x64.  I 
did not have this issue with previous non-patched versions.

I have tried setting:
1) Setting %QTDIR% and adding %QTDIR%\bin to %PATH%.
2) Installing the ...\bin\qt.conf file.
3) Setting qmake 'persistent properties'.  qmake -query shows both the values I 
set and the hardcoded values.

Was this issue introduced by the 'patch'?

Cheers,
Andy

There is nothing different about the patched vs. non-patched build when it 
comes to relocation. Qt _does_ hard code some paths during build time and 
frustrating as it is, and with everything I've tried in 
http://code.google.com/p/qt-msvc-installer/wiki/RelocationTricks there are 
certain times when it reverts to it's hard-coded paths.

What it comes down to is if at all possible, you want to use the default path 
(which is the path it was built in on the build machine). Sorry there isn't 
better news.
