I still don't believe that the Qt dlls are 500Mb, I tried to Google around and what I found is someone complaining of the size, in his case a simple Qt GUI app had 14Mb. If you think 500Mb is the right number maybe you can find a link so I update my knowledge. I am familiar with this complaint , at a previous workpolace we switched to Adobe AIR because of the installer size (the boss felt better if the customers installed AIR from Adobe and then our 2 Mb installer). At that time Qt did not had a built in way to create installers, signing them, and autoupdate applications,(not sure it has now) Adobe AIR had such mechanism so this also was a factor on switching to this toolkit then. So if you think Qt is big what would you use instead?
