    Hi, did you get this sorted? Seems to be a very common problem, espeically for those who keep their computers clean. (No apple cr4p on my windoze thank you) SO I had to instal winpcap, Itunes, QuickTime and this DAMN QT.io rubbish! WTF is QT.io? They have no email address to ask for help only some stupid webform that doesn't work. What did you do to fix your installation?

    Hello, seems a common problem when running the compiled version 2.2 available here as a windows prebuilt download.

    I had 3 issues, and here is how they were solved:

    1 - Wpcap.dll not found.
    Wpcap is deprecated, now Npcap is used. Go to Npcap page and you are done.

    2 - Qt platform plugin not found.
    Seems this version was compiled using Qt 5.12.0, and the deployment is a bit messed up. Well, this is tricky: in this official Qt link download "5.12.0-0-201812040352qtbase-Windows-Windows_10-MSVC2017-Windows-Windows_10-X86.7z"
    Open it with the free archiver 7z, navigate to "\5.12.0\msvc2017\plugins\" and extract the folder "platforms" inside your Dream folder. That's it.

    3 - When you try to select Settings->Sound Card->Signal input->Device->"Wathever option" the program crashes to desktop. This seems some kind of code bug.
    You can bypass this issue by editing "Dream.ini" file, find the "Receiver" section and set "snddevin" parameter like this:

    snddevin=CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual

    (I recommend copy&paste this into your Dream.ini, note the ending space after "Virtual", it's important)

    All of this could be solved by installing Qt, Visual studio, etc. and making the whole project for windows 10, but I really don't use none of this tools and I'm allergic to Qt.

    Hope this help some folks out there, and thanks to the team for this FREE decoder.

    Regards.
