Vcpkg: building against apr-util:x64-windows, libexpat.dll is not found when running the program

[abhishekmishra]

Describe the bug
When building against apr-util:x64-windows, the executable is linked to libexpat.dll which is not found when running the program.
I can see that libaprutil-1.dll is copied to Debug. However libexpat.dll is missing.

Environment

• OS: Win10
• Compiler: MSVC 19.27.29111.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ./vcpkg install apr-util:x64-windows
2. Use apr-util in cmake build using the following snipped.

# apr-util
find_path(APR_UTIL_INCLUDE_DIR apr_queue.h)
if (WIN32)
  find_library(APR_UTIL_LIBRARY libaprutil-1)
  message("Found apr util -> " ${APR_UTIL_LIBRARY})
endif(WIN32)
if (UNIX)
  find_library(APR_UTIL_LIBRARY aprutil-1)
endif(UNIX)
include_directories(${APR_UTIL_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC ${APR_UTIL_LIBRARY})

1. build
2. Run program, get an error saying "libexpat.dll" is missing.

Expected behavior
Expected the program to run

Failure logs
None

Additional context
The same build and run works on macos and linux.

Apologies for not responding earlier. However I pulled master now (since it looks like the changes are merged), and this works for me. Thanks.
