Most likely you downloaded a libcurl version which has SSL / Zlib / SSH2 features / dependencies, and the additional required DLLs are missing.

I downloaded my copy from > http://www.gknw.net/mirror/curl/win32/curl-7.19.6-devel-mingw32.zip. that's bad! This is my package, and as the name states its build with MinGW32 compiler, and not with MSVC! Also this package has the dependencies I mentioned above, and you need the zlib, openssl, libssh2 DLLs too in same directory... But I strongly recommend that you get the source package, and compile libcurl from source to make sure you dont run into compiler issues. Also its a good idea to get the libcurlnet sources, and re-compile this package too.
