I am using using Qt 5.1.1 with Qt creator 2.8.1 and visual studio 2012 on Windows 7. Creating targets (*.exe files) and exchanging these targets between PCs running with Windows 7 is no problem. However, if I try to run these executables under Windows 8 they crash at startup (Eror code 0xc000007b). I think I have to compile my application for windows 8.I am using using Qt 5.1.1 with Qt creator 2.8.1
