Openpose: System Error while running OpenPoseDemo.exe on Windows

Issue Summary

After building the solution in VS 2015 Enterprise, I proceeded to check if the library installation succeeded or not. There I received errors about the executable not finding gflags.dll, glog.dll and opencv_world310.dll.

• Execution error
  Three pop-up windows with the following messages appeared:
  1) The code execution cannot proceed because gflags.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem.
  2) The code execution cannot proceed because opencv_world310.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem.

It seems like the executable demo is not able to locate the dlls it is dependent on. I fixed this issue by copying all the dlls to the release folder.

@vasavig Where did you find all these .dll files ?

@saketGuptaTiger inside the bin directory - copy all of the dll files to the x64/release folder.
