I found several others are puzzled by this matter as well, but no answer is satisfying. I am inheriting a big C program set up in Visual Studio 2019, it builds fine, but when running it, the studio complains "A dependent dll was not found" without any other useful info. Is there anyway to know which dll is needed, or even which symbols are not found?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Using Dependency Walker, I have identified the missing DLL. It does not require installation, very good to use.
