Program failed to start - API-MS-WIN-CORE ???.DLL

I develop a C++ software but it seems that on "some" (not all) machines it cannot run (also under Windows 8).

One of my customer says that he has open it with the dependency walker and that some DLLs are missing... all with the name : API-MS-WIN-CORE ???.DLL

But it seems to me that is a system DLL...

My software is a 64 bits software and use QT (I have built it myself), but I can't reproduce the problem on my machine.

Does someone has an idea to help me ?

For information, you can download it at : www.spectralpixel.com

Thanks for your help

Following my comment (sorry for answer, I need to post an image) - after a short delay, I see access violations in the event log. Screenshot attached below - maybe helpful? I have Windows 8 64-bit with VS2012 installed and have also installed VS2010 redist x86/x64.

I agree with Hans Passant that the dependency walker is probably a red herring - I can't see evidence of missing dependencies on my system.
