fail to install open studio plugin

hi!

I have successfully install the whole energyplus project on my Mac and it works well, however there is no idf editor on Mac, so I tried to install another on my windows. But this time, I failed to install the open studio plugin. I followed every step as the instructions lead, but when I tried to install the plugin in SketchUp, I failed. And everytime when I launch SketchUp, it shows"select OpenStudio Root Directory" then "path to OpenStudio Root Directory C:/openstudioapplication-1.5.0 ", and once I click "yes",it shows "This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: windows."

sorry I don't have enough points to upload the picture to make my questions clearer. I'm so confused, please let me know what's wrong and how should I do if you have any idea, my version matrix is SketchUp2022-OpenStudioApplication1.5-OpenStudioSketchUpPlugin1.6. Thank you very much!
