I have an app that its project generated using CMake in Qt5.7, so when import QtQuick.Controls 2.0 application failed to load with the following error:

plugin cannot be loaded for module "QtQuick.Controls": Cannot load library C:\Qt\Qt5.7.0\5.7\msvc2015\qml\QtQuick\Controls.2\qtquickcontrols2plugind.dll: The specified module could not be found.

I found the solution, The problem is QtQuick.Controls 2.0 depends on QtQuick.Templates 2.0 module so I have copied its dll to output directory and it runs successfully.

required DLLs (for Debug version):

Qt5QuickTemplates2d.dll
Qt5QuickControls2d.dll

required DLLs (for Release version):

Qt5QuickTemplates2.dll
Qt5QuickControls2.dll
