Couldn't open because Qt5Widgets.dll is missing

@Ash0nMarzz Hi, sorry to hear you’re having this issue. This is a common problem on windows, but it’s not a problem created by Pencil2D, rather it means when your original Pencil2D folder is missing some key files.

Probably when the download file was unzipped, all the necessary files weren’t properly extracted. There’s a troubleshooting section in the download page that also mention this.

Anyway here are some tips:

  1. Pencil2D works like a portable app, you don’t need to install it, just extract the downloaded zip folder and run it from there.
  2. You can pin the Pencil2D.exe file to the taskbar, or create a shortcut from it. You’ll find this file in the folder where you extracted the download files.
  3. To comfortably use Pencil2D under Windows please read and follow the guide below thoroughly. It includes links to other guides and explanations on how to properly unblock and unzip files among other important steps to avoid issues stemming from the operating system itself.
