When starting owncloud.exe the application should start running.
Actual behaviour
The following error is thrown on start:
“owncloud”
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin “windows” in “”.
Available platform plugins are: minimal, windows.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
“OK”
Note that this error is not thrown (and the OC client runs as expected) when running owncloud as administrator.
Reinstalling or Uninstalling + Reinstall did not fix the problem. Also used a different location (D:\Programs instead of C:\Program Files).
Steps to reproduce
Double click on “owncloud.exe”
Client configuration

Logs
Logs are not created as owncloud doesn’t start (it does create a log file when running as administrator, but no problems there).
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it didn’t work in C:\ either and nothing changed on my machine yesterday (I shut the laptop down at work, came home, turned it on, got this message).
OK, here is an update. I remembered I installed another program called Blender (for 3D image/video creation), just removed this and now owncloud works again…
Interesting indeed… I did try finding a solution on Google and found this error message on a few other forums (not related to owncloud), however, the solutions mentioned there did not help me (copy a DLL file). Blender was downloaded directly from their website and installed using all default settings. I didn’t notice anything special there.
