vb.net project works fine in debug, but fails library load in published version

[craigebuckley]

when running debug of vb.net project using reference dymosdk version 1.4.4.21 my labels print fine.

after publishing, running the published version on the same machine fails at dymosdk.app.init() with:

I went into file explorer and that file is present.

What am I missing?
