Does it mean when I deploy this application on other PC, if the path do not contain the dll, the application will failed to initialize?

Yes, it will fail. You can use Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package to setup runtime libraries at the target machine. Or link your application to runtime libraries statically (it will not depend on runtime dlls).
