Folder missing in releases. #2

Open techbliss opened 7 years ago

techbliss commented 7 years ago

In the releases x64/x86 there is missing a folder that gives users a error regarding plugin path. instead of PyQt5\platforms it should be PyQt5\plugins\platforms and it will not give you a error about This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5".

It's easily fixed by not putting it in site-packages and using the recommended installation method instead. On Sun, 2 Jul 2017 at 16:56, Storm Shadow notifications@github.com wrote:

Actually the recommended installation method is also affected on some OS's.

So is it solved or not?

techbliss commented 7 years ago

The issue is not critical, but for notice for future releases , the right folder should be applied. The need for setting your QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH works for now. when correct folder is made, and platform folder is moved, QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH is not needed.

Alright, I'll keep it open in case this ever gets fixed.
