Whenever I encounter an error where an app refuses to start, and I suspect it's a dependency issue, I like to use Dependency Walker[^] to dig into the dependencies. This tool is a great way to find out what's happening with the application, and to find out if dependencies of dependencies are present. The best thing is, the tool is free.
