The folder is called 'DLLs' rather than 'DLL', but I imagine that's
just finger-trouble in your post. The 'DLLs' folder is definitely the
right place.

There are some problems that are not specifically related to Python,
though. The most likely is a dependency on other DLLs. You should
check whether your extension needs any other additional DLLs (e.g. the
runtime libraries for a particular compiler version) and make sure you
have them installed, either somewhere on you OS path or in the DLLs
folder where you placed the .pyd file.
