pv5.9rc2 build

I build pv5.9rc2 with vs2017x64 (qt5.12) on windows7 using the default configuration. However, when I run the application, the GUI show below:

How did you configure ParaView before building ?

I just set the QT directory.

The same problem for pv5.9rc3 (using QT5.14 and vs 2017 x64) on windows10 x64.

@cory.quammen: Looks like broken svg support.

Indeed. @lyz make sure there is a qsvg.dll file in your Qt installation. In the binaries we provide on paraview.org, this is found under C:\Program Files\ParaView 5.9.0-RC2-Windows-Python3.8-msvc2017-64bit\bin\imageformats

As for the error messages, I think I see the problem in one of the XML files. Proposed fix here: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/4642
