I have recently moved to Qt 5.11.2.

When I try to run qdoc.exe as an external tool from Qt Creator:

%{CurrentProject:QT_INSTALL_BINS}\qdoc.exe

with the following arguments:

%{CurrentProject:Path}/%{CurrentProject:Name}.qdocconf

in the General Message panel it is reported that the program is executed and has ended. There is no error, but the documentation is not generated.

When I try to run qdoc.exe from the command prompt, I get the following error:

The program can't start, because api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I have searched the whole system for api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-0.dll and it is indeed missing.

I took the dll from a Window 10 installation and put it in the same folder as the executable. The result is the same.

How to fix that?

    Greetings from BW. I found [How To Fix Api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-0.dll is Missing / Not Found Error Messages](https://www.solvusoft.com/en/files/missing-not-found-error/dll/windows/microsoft/windows-8-pro/api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-0-dll/). Please, scroll down to the bottom. There is a list of 10 items to do. For me, it looks like just copying the DLL is not enough. I also found [MSDN: API Sets for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/mt186421(v=vs.85).aspx) where it seems to belong to. – Scheff's Cat Sep 26 '18 at 06:53

    Actually, I had expected to find some kind of redist on MSDN which would ensure correct side-by-side installation but I couldn't find anything. May be, I gave up my search too early... – Scheff's Cat Sep 26 '18 at 06:56
  • @Scheff, thank you very much! I will read and try that and make you aware of the results. – scopchanov Sep 26 '18 at 09:36
  • @Scheff, For now I have managed to try some of the steps, without success. Meanwhile I have set up a new Windows 10 VM and there I am able to run qdoc.exe, although there are other problems with it, which I will report separately. In any case, I keep on trying to solve the problems and I will give a feedback on the progress. – scopchanov Sep 27 '18 at 12:57
  • I'm looking forward to read your self-answer. – Scheff's Cat Sep 27 '18 at 13:00
  • @Scheff, for now there are no chances for such one. – scopchanov Sep 27 '18 at 13:06
