Unfortunately, that error is probably not saying what the real problem is - the
real problem may be that the plugin was built using MSVC++ 9.0 but Wireshark
was built using MSVC++ 10.0. Sadly, this is MSVC++ and Windows, not UN*X; on
UN*X, different compiler and run-time library versions are, in general, binary
compatible, but I'm not sure that's the case with MSVC++ on Windows.
Try building the plugin with MSVC++ 10.0, and see if that works...

...because, as Mike_P's answer, and Kurt's comment on that answer, suggest, the
compiler or run-time redistributable differences might cause a problem.
In particular, as one of the Wireshark Q&A questions to which Mike_P pointed
you:
http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/5377/dissector-runs-on-my-computer-but-not-others
suggests, perhaps you need the VC++ Redistributable package for MSVC++ 9.0 on
any machine that's using a plugin built with MSVC++ 9.0. See, for example,
this section:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChToolsMSChain.html#msvc-runtime-redistributable
of the Wireshark Developer's Guide, which includes information on how to
download and install the MSVC++ 9.0 Redistributable (and the Redistributables
for other MSVC++ versions).
