I followed your advice and got a bunch of api-ms-* files in the install directory when I packed it.
However, for my program, there were still 3 DLLs missing: api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll,
api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-1.dll,
api-ms-win-core-processthreads-l1-1-2.dll.

Not sure if this is a bug in cmake.  Not sure how cmake gets those dependencies.
