Is this really correct? On Eloquent we are using MSVC2019, I would expect that to be reflected in this environment variable.

I think this question is still open.

I believe that 2017 forward is ABI compatible, so it may be that QT is only releasing for the lower supported version.

It's actually 2015 forward: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/binary-compat-2015-2017?view=vs-2019

Oh, interesting. I really thought that wasn't the case. OK, in that case, this is fine.

Note that there is a simpler instruction to make this permanent, which is to run setx -m QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH C:\Qt\5.12.2\msvc2017_64\plugins\platforms.
