Which versions of Windows are applicable here? Can you share the list
of required DLLs listed on PC1 and on PC2?

This usually happens with system DLLs, and it may be as simple as not
having the Universal CRT (UCRT).

GStreamer requires *only* the Universal CRT, and newer versions of
Windows 10 ship with it by default. See:

On older Windows, you can also get it via Windows Update:
