Please tell all the details.  Take one of these DLLs and describe all
the steps, including:

  . the name of the DLL and the language it supports
  . in what directory did you install it
  . how did you try to use it in Emacs
  . what exactly was the error message displayed by Emacs
  . what does "M-: (treesit-available-p) RET" report in Emacs

The correct names of the DLLs, under which Emacs will look these
libraries on Windows are libtree-sitter-LANG.dll, where LANG is the
language.  For example, if you try using the java-ts-mode.el package
for the Java language, you need to have the libtree-sitter-java.dll
where Emacs on MS-Windows looks for DLLs.
