title: How to reference Win 8 DLLs on a Win 7 machine?
body: <p>I am trying to reference a dll in my project (black box provided by a third company), but the dll does not load so I ma using depends.exe to check any dependecies.</p>
  
  <p>I have found out that the dll internally is missing the following dlls (I believe are Win 8 DLLs, please tell me if I am wrong).</p>
  
  <p>I am using Visual Studio on a Win 7 64 bit machine.</p>
  
  <p>My questions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>How can I load this dll on Win 7?</li>
  <li><p>Do I need work on Win 8 Machine?</p>
