This is the same issue as .dll file works on my pc but not on other pc.[^].

So you need to rebuild your dll for the version of Windows that the customer has installed on their PC.

That is not a good home for your own DLL files - clue is in the name - it's a folder for things to do with Windows.

I suspect that you are rebuilding the DLL on the "other" machine that has Visual Studio which is why it starts working.

You are not deploying your file correctly. It needs to be registered on the machine where you want it to work, not just copied into a random folder.

See reference material First look at deployment - Visual Studio | Microsoft Docs[^]

Also Deploy your Application or Component Using Windows Installer[^]
