That doesn't sound right. AFAIK, QML shouldn't be loading dll's
without a qmldir file. Maybe it's picking up another Qt from your
path? If you set the environment variable QML_IMPORT_TRACE=1, it
should give you lots of debug from the importing code. Can you see
what's happening there or maybe paste the output from both machines.
