Description

[removed stuff related to game, as it's about the executable, not a game]

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

I'm on Vista, and have no plans of upgrading, I wanted to install Dolphin, which looks like it would have looked, based on the Dolphin Github's readme.md

However, There's only a "Qt platform" error, which means i can't use Dolphin on Vista until if i upgrade to Windows 7 SP1.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Install Dolphin from the website, and i put it on my Documents folder.
