Make sure the dll is placed in the correct directory in the other PC, so that the loader can find it.

My best guess: if you want to use your dll within the other application (via interop)... Then you need to register your dll in GAC on other machine. Please, read this:

It's either in the wrong folder (check the EXE folder), or the DLL relies on other DLL files which aren't present.

If you use a "proper" installer, then it should both put the files in the right place, and check subdependancies for you.
