You need to install that referenced DLL in the target machine and register it as per the authors instructions.

If you tell us what component/DLL/library it is, you may get a more specific answer.

copy your dll in %winsys%\system32\
registers -i mydll.dll

%winsys% = c:\windows
%winsys% = c:\winnt

What you need to do is this.

1) register the DLL that you have made. using - regsvr32

2) Find out ProgID for your dll project name, in registry (cmd =regedit) - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd542719(v=vs.85).aspx

Now that's programming :)
