This can also happen when you re trying to load a DLL and that in turn needs another DLL which cannot be not found

Windows dll error 126 can have many root causes   The most useful methods I have found to debug this are    Use dependency walker to look for any obvious problems  which you have already done   Use the sysinternals utility Process Monitor http   technet microsoft com en-us sysinternals bb896645 from Microsoft to trace all file access while your dll is trying to load  With this utility  you will see everything that that dll is trying to pull in and usually the problem can be determined from there

This error can happen because some MFC library  eg  mfc120 dll  from which the DLL is dependent is missing in windows system32 folder
