Dependency Walker: missing dlls

I have been trying to resolve .dll dependencies for the executable file with Dependency Walker. Currently, I am getting missing .dlls in the following form:

API-MS-WIN-XXX

EXT-MS-WIN-XXX

For example:

API-MS-WIN-APPMODEL-IDENTITY-L1-2-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-APPMODEL-RUNTIME-INTERNAL-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-BASE-UTIL-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-APIQUERY-L1-1-0.DLL
EXT-MS-WIN-RTCORE-NTUSER-SYSCOLORS-L1-1-0.DLL

Does anybody have any ideas on how to resolve these? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Additional info: I compiled the executable using Visual Studio 2013. The most interesting thing is that I did not receive any errors during compilation. However, I cannot run it due to missing dependencies. I also attached a screenshot of dependency walker:

Update 1: As an attempt to solve the problem I tried to add the path for the libraries that VS used during compilation to the $PATH environment variable without any luck (Dependency Walker still shows unresolved dependencies).

In addition to what @Ofek Shilon said, I usually ignore following dlls that dependency_walker identified as missing when I try to find missing dlls for my program. You will see that your program runs fine when dependency_walker says these dlls are missing.

  • API-MS-WIN-*.dll
  • EXT-MS-WIN-*.dll
  • IESHIMS.dll
  • EMCLIENT.dll
  • DEVICELOCKHELPERS.dll

You can search for dlls other than the ones above to resolve your problem.
