No - Windows will search your path to find the DLL.

I'm not sure what is wrong, but it might be easier to diagnose if
you put a call like this in your program, after libssh2_session_init:

  libssh2_trace(session, ~0);

then report what is printed on stderr.
You may want to redirect it like this:

mytest.exe 2>trace.txt
