Sorry I've never seen insight working without having its dependant 
library in the same folder, but I don't use is for years too!
I can't tell you when it used to work (may be Keith has the answer) but 
I can tell you it has not worked for years. The only way I found when I 
really need to run insight from the build was to copy all dlls into the 
build directory?
