Hello Angel, thank you for the report.

Which interpreter do you use? Are you able to reproduce the problem with another interpreter?

I had the same problem, because I had changed the folder name of my python-env (conda).
In python-env\qt.conf, the old folder name was still in place and therefore qt was not found.

I'm getting the same error when trying to install the "jetbrains-toolbox-1.16.6319.exe".

It looks very similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41994485/error-could-not-find-or-load-the-qt-platform-plugin-windows-while-using-matplo but I'm not sure where the QT dll is located.

To fix the problem:

  1. Find "QT_PLUGIN_PATH" in your environment variables.
  2. Rename in "_QT_PLUGIN_PATH"

Note this is a temporary fix, since it will most like negatively impact the other programs that were using "QT_PLUGIN_PATH".  You may have to keep change the environment variable name when running different program.  JetBrains should be able to provide a cleaner solution.
