Kør Windows .exe i Qt-applikationen

Opgaven var at skrive en Qt Quick-applikation (GUI) for at uploade ny firmware til en touch-controller.
Uploadsoftwaren blev leveret af producenten i et .exe program , der indlæser en .bin fil på berøringscontrolleren.
Jeg ønskede at bruge Qt-klasserne "QProcess", som kan bruges til at kalde og kontrollere shell-applikationer. På Linux-siden havde jeg allerede brugt dette med succes flere gange - men på Windows fungerede det ikke i starten.

QProcess::setWorkingDirectory

"Tricket" eller løsningen til dette var at bruge "setWorkingDirectory". Her er et uddrag fra .h- og .cpp filerne. Bemærk linjen "process->setWorkingDirectory..." i .cpp filen.

    Q_OBJECT

public:
    CmdLauncher(QObject *parent = nullptr);

    Q_INVOKABLE void start(const QString &program, const QVariantList &arguments);

    QString application_directory;
};

#include "cmdlauncher.h"

CmdLauncher::CmdLauncher(QObject *parent) : QProcess(parent)
{
    process_running = "start";
}

void CmdLauncher::start(const QString &program, const QVariantList &arguments) {
    QStringList args;

    // convert QVariantList from QML to QStringList for QProcess/
    for (int i = 0; i < arguments.length(); i++)
        args << arguments[i].toString();

    // start request or upload process
    QProcess * process = new QProcess();
    process->setWorkingDirectory(application_directory + "/nConsoleTool");
    process->setProcessChannelMode(QProcess::MergedChannels);
    process->start(program, args);
    process->waitForFinished();

    // get values and set states
    QByteArray bytes = process->readAll();
    cmd_output = QString::fromLocal8Bit(bytes);
    emit cmdOutputChanged();
    }
}
