The most common issue here is that you are linking against some library 
or symbol which is not present in a release version. Are you linking 
against any Mozilla library (you shouldn't be). What version of the C 
runtime library are you using (you should probably be using the 
statically linked version).

You can use the dynamic mode of dependency walker to view any of these 
sorts of errors: http://www.dependencywalker.com/

That is probably correct.
