Make use of DEPLOYMENT in your .pro file. Something like

Edit: Didn’t refresh the page so missed the above posts.

Also note that there is a Bug [bugreports.qt.nokia.com] in Qt 4.6.3 which is fixed in Qt 4.7. So above will have some issues in Qt 4.6.3. So in Qt 4.6.3 DEPLOYMENT keyword is not handles properly.

Thanks for ur reply. I think “PrjRes.sources” is the path where the files to be packaged?

Please let me know how do I add folder?

If DEPLOYMENT has bug then what is the alternative to. I have read about “INSTALLS” but unfortunately “INSTALLS” didn’t work.

thanks in advance.

QtK :)

To elaborate:

It’s a little easier in Qt Creator 2.1, where Qt Creator adds a DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS variable in the pro file when it creates the project (QTCREATORBUG-3203 [bugreports.qt.nokia.com] has some details), like:

which you can edit to

Please do verify if the bug is valid in your case. Say if you are targeting for Qt 4.7 then the bug is probably solved in that version.

If you still face problems. One way out is to try modify the .pkg file and build the sis. This is not recommended, so didn’t mention it – but you can try this if other options don’t work.

@smotiwala The DEPLOYMENT part of my answer (just elaborating what @alexander and @qtk said) does not need Qt Creator 2.1. Maybe you could try that and let us know if that helped or not.

Thanks all for your help. I’ll try it.

If your source is a file it should be DEPLOYMENT. If its folder it should be DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS.

So use it like this
