While it might serve as a temporary functional "quick fix" for testing and verification purposes, your solution is precisely what leads to the infamous "DLL Hell" situation on Windows: Multiple copies of a general purpose DLL or ActiveX control (with potentially varying incompatible versions) scattered around the system.
In the long run it's preferable to make sure the DLL is actually needed. If it's not, find out why you're linking to it and remove the dependency. If it is, make sure you're linking against the most up-to-date version, and make sure that version is installed in the correct location (usually \Windows\System[32]).
