problem with running WeBots on windows - not able to initializing qt plug in

[amirhnourian]

Hi everyone
today I installed webots on windows 11 using the source .exe file provided on the website but when I try to run the program I see this error message.
Any opinion on what is the problem?

Strange... Did you installed version R2023a or a nightly build?

[amirhnourian]

I appreciate your follow-up.

I tried all three nightly versions, but unfortunately, I received the same message. In the meantime, I have installed WeBots on my Ubuntu PC and it works like a charm.

I could not solve the issue by searching on the internet too, maybe the issue is related to my own system!

Thank you again for your help and support

I would say it is indeed related with you local Windows machine as Webots works very well on Windows for many users.

I actually got a similar error when trying to run R2023a on WSL2. I updated my WSL and then the error disappeared (there are other problems now though). Is it a coincidence that the messages are the same?

I don't know...

I think they may be unrelated, I tried to install docker a week ago so I installed WSL2 on my system. I have installed webots again, however I have the same error.
