Did you create an installer for your .exe ?

Your applications is looking for IMAQ files which requires the installation of a run-time engine for that toolkit.  Note that I believe the IMAQ run-time engine has its own licensing, so if you install that app on another PC besides your development PC, then you need to purchase another license.

is imaq run time engine is a open source or it is to be purchased with a license?

Vision is one of the few NI toolkits that requires a run-time license - see information here. Most NI products are proprietary and owned by NI - none of it is 'open source' - but the drivers / run-time engine are generally free to download/install (with a few exceptions...VIsion, TestStand and the DSC module being the obvious ones I can think of).

In addition to that - if you only installed the runtime engine, you won't have the NI Vision Runtime installed at all.

Creating an installer packages up your executable and any run-time engine / drivers that your software uses so that you don't have to find/install these components separately. This is the 'additional installers' dialogue from an installer build specification:
