If we have such an error message, this means the main DLL exists: the original 
path passed to ctypes exists and is a valid DLL otherwise the message would be 
different. 

So I think that this is always a direct or indirect dependency of that primary 
DLL that would be missing and we could be explicit in the error message.

We could also provide some hints in the error message on how to research the 
issue may be?
