I have an application that uses Qt, it works on some machines (Windows 7 64bits, Windows Server Standard 32bits), and on other machines (Windows Server 2012 R2 64bits, Windows 10 Pro 64bits) it gives an SEH exception. I've been trying to debug this for some time but I don't know how to find the root.
This exception is not caught by the try/catch, and I wasn't able to use __try/__except because it cannot be used together with the first, and also it says it can only be used in code that does not require unwinding (if I remember correctly).

I also tried to use windbg, but wasn't able to find the root of the problem (altough that might be due to my very little experience with it).
What else can I do to find what's happening?
I've found that enabling /EHa (Structured Exception Handling) on the compiler solves my problem, as I can then use my default exception handling code (try/catch).
Appending this to my .pro did it:
win* {
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_EXCEPTIONS_ON = /EHa
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_STL_ON = /EHa
}
