Streaming from Ximea camera in OpenCV 2.4.10

According to the question here, it is possible to stream from the Ximea camera using OpenCV 2.4.10.

I installed the Ximea API and I can stream from the camera using the Ximea API, but I want to stream using OpenCV. I built OpenCV 2.4.10 and ticked the WITH_XIMEA option.

Now when I try to stream from my camera (even from my built-in web camera) using OpenCV in VS2012, I get this error: "The program can't start because "m3api.dll" is missing from your computer". Although the m3api.dll is in the Ximea API folder, but for some reason the program can't find it. If a copy the m3api.dll into the project folder, then I get the message "The program can't start because "PvAPI.dll" is missing from your computer". I can't find PvAPI.dll on my computer and I don't think that my Ximea camera needs it. Any help?
