This is similar to #469718 of kdeconnect but for filelight. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
What I am doing is essentially a portable install.
1. Download 23.0.4.1 win64 installer exe
```filelight-23.04.1-1370-windows-cl-msvc2019-x86_64.7z```
2. do manual extraction using 7zip (I usually don't do windows managed install)
3. open a command prompt
4. cd to location of binary
5. .\filelight.exe  
   note error message in dialog box: 
6. verify that the problem does not happen with
```filelight-23.04.0-1330-windows-cl-msvc2019-x86_64.exe ```

nb. I usually use ```scoop``` to fetch and install to scoop directory,
essentially it does the same thing.

I have not checked if it works on normal installation. But even if it does,
this method of portable installs should not fail.

LOGS
It gives two near identical error messages in msg popup dialogs and then bails
out
first dialog is
```
filelight:exe - Entry Point Not found
Error: The procedure entry point
?accessibleRole at QQuickItemPrivate@@UEBA?AW4Role at QAccessible@@XZ could not be
located in the dynamic link library
C:\vol\scoop_01\scoopg\apps\filelight\23.04.1-1370\bin\Qt5QuickControls2.dll 
```
followed by
```
filelight:exe - Entry Point Not found
Error: The procedure entry point
?accessibleRole at QQuickItemPrivate@@UEBA?AW4Role at QAccessible@@XZ could not be
located in the dynamic link library
C:\vol\scoop_01\scoopg\apps\filelight\23.04.1-1370\bin\Qt5QuickTemplates2.dll 
```

WORK AROUND
downgrade: download and use
filelight-23.04.0-1330-windows-cl-msvc2019-x86_64.exe  instead

OBSERVED RESULT
crash

EXPECTED RESULT
should not crash
