assimp-vc140-mt.dll ASSIMP was not found

I have downloaded the Assimp project from http://assimp.sourceforge.net/main_downloads.html

Assimp release image

assimp zip image

And I've also downloaded the cmake x86 version from this link: https://cmake.org/download/

cmake x86 image

I have extracted both, and made a build folder next to the assimp's folder. After that I have opened a command promt, changed the directory to the mentioned build folder. I gave the cmake.exe's path to the command promt and the assimp folder's path as the first parameter. After that I had the visual studio solution in the build folder. I have made an assimp folder in my openGL project. In this assimp folder I've created a lib folder and I put everything from the build/code/debug folder into it, namely:

assimp-vc140-mt.dll
assimp-vc140-mt.exp
assimp-vc140-mt.ilk
assimp-vc140-mt.lib
assimp-vc140-mt.pdb

After that I copied the include folder from the downloaded assimp folder next to the previously mentioned lib folder. So now I have all the libs and includes inside my openGl project I have set the additional include directories, the additional libraries and the additional dependencies in the visual studio for my openGl project

In my main.cpp I have included these headers:

include "assimp/Importer.hpp"
include "assimp/scene.h"
include "assimp/postprocess.h"

I can build my project and run it. But when I run it after the console appears I immediately get this error:

assimp-vc140-mt.dll was not found

I don't know what could be the source of the error, do you have any idea?

Thank you in advance!

Don't forget dependant DLLs which are not system DLLs are loaded from application directory and from current directory - to me it sounds like you haven't put assimp-vc140-mt.dll in either of those.
