title: Deploy Windows applications in Qt Creator
body: <p>Hi I'm using QT Creator 2.4.1 based on Qt 4.7.4 on Win 7 (64 Bit)</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know a simple way to deploy my Qt GUI application to windows. It needs to be simple because I've been teaching my students to program GUI apps in Qt and now I want to show them how to deploy. (I now realise my error in not checking this prior to starting the course, however I assumed it would simple).</p>
  
  <p>I've looked at Qt site requiring static linking:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.7/deployment-windows.html" rel="nofollow">http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.7/deployment-windows.html</a></p>
  
  <p>and using NISI to package and deploy the application.</p>
  
  <p>None of these options are simple enough to show my students. I would be keen to know how other people deploy windows applications using Qt Creator. Any ideas welcome.</p>
