Description
When launching a freshly built Slicer app, I encountered the following issue:

These modules are from SlicerIGT, and as far as I could tell, no problems occurred during the build process. This happened on Windows.
## Solution
Copying the DLL files from `X/bin/Release` to `X/Slicer-build/bin/Release` resolved the issue.

Research direction
Reproduce the launch failure on Windows with a freshly built Slicer application and inspect the DLL locations `X/bin/Release` and `X/Slicer-build/bin/Release`. Determine why the SlicerIGT module DLLs are not placed where the application loads them; done means the modules load without manually copying the DLL files.
