Ideas?

packagins\nsis\Makefile.nmake calls windeployqt-to-nsis.ps1 to create the
qt-dll-manifest.nsh file listing all the qt dlls required for the installer.



In the script, windeployqt is called to return the list of DLL's and then
on Line 23 of the script calls split-path to get the path component of the
DLL.  From the error it seems that one of the entries is null.



Try this:



In a Powershell prompt at your top level source directory:



<code>

$env:Path += ";PATH\TO\QT\BIN"

windeployqt --release --no-compiler-runtime --list relative
wireshark-qt-release\qtshark.exe

</code>

Hi,

Not sure I got I right:



C:\xxx\trunk>powershell

Windows PowerShell

Copyright (C) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.



PS C:\xxx\trunk> $env:path+="C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\msvc2012_64\bin"


Looks like you've missed the ";" path separator that should be at the front
of the string.  Start with a new PS prompt (as you've broken the path in
that one) and try again.

I'd really like to see what that 5.2.1 windeployqt gives out, but as the
others have said, windeployqt in < 5.3.x looks to be broken.
