Solution

See ​http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/deployment-plugins.html for more information about development of Qt plugins. You can set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable to a non-zero value to see more information from plugin loader.

1. Check if filename 'PluginName.dll' is correct in your XML file.
2. Check if the correct version (release/debug) is used, see plugins postfix attribute in the XML.
3. Check if this file exists in the same directory as the executable.
