I've tried on two different systems now, and I can't reproduce that.
(win2k and XPSP2).
Sure, if you run depends.exe directly on the *.so files, you'll get
errors. But the so files are loaded by TSVN exe's which are located in
the bin folder, and those load the runtime dll's from there. So you
shouldn't get such errors.

Can you tell us more about your OS/setup/user rights please?
