Error when starting under Windows: "Unable to load the xash.dll: The specified module could not be found."

Windows error reporting on loading DLLs is poor. This error message usually means that either xash.dll or one of its dependencies (eg. SDL2) cannot be found by the executable. Ensure that the following DLLs are present in the same directory as bond.exe:

• menu.dll
• ref_gl.dll
• SDL2.dll
• xash.dll
