Try viewing your exe's dependencies with Microsoft's Dependency Walker
tool. You'lI see which dlls are required by exe and which of them are
missing. Latest version also has Profile mode, which lets you observe
dlls loaded dynamically at run-time. (You should do it at "the other
machine", not development machine.)
