This is what we do, it's what Microsoft calls "app-local deployment"
(copying in the DLLs). It's not what they recommend, but we've found

combined with windeployqt.

Here's one of Microsofts blogs explaining their stance on app-local
deployment: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/04/18/c-runtime-deployment-why-choosing-applocal/
