about release version

I wrote a programe with ICE1.4, now the debug version runs well, but the release version has something wrong, when run the code of Ice::InitializeWithProperties(argc,argv,properties), the debug window of VC6.0 shows:

Fist-chance exception in ICEServer.exe ( STLPORT_VC645.DLL:0XC0000005:Access Violation
Fist-chance exception in ICEServer.exe ( KERNEL.DLL:0XE06D7363:Microsoft C++ Exception)

anybody knows why?
thanks!

This shows Ice::InitializeWithProperties is raising an exception (probably an Ice exception, but it could also be a std exception). You should catch it and print it to get more information.

Acturally, I catched the exception of this code and show the error by "cout<< e<<endl;", but if I just run the programe in dos window, there is no any message be showed and just throw a window error message tells me some code can not read "00000000".
If I run it in the vc6.0 IDE, it shows the messages I mentioned before, but the debug version of this programe runs very good, I am so puzzle abou it.

Do you properly link your debug program with *d.lib libraries, and your release program with release libraries (no d suffix)?

yeah, I link with ice.lib and iceutil.lib, and the non-debug version STLPORT dll too, coz if you do not do so, the complier does not complete your link too.

You need to use the STLPort debug libraries as well. What link error do you get with these? Do you get a link error while building the tests or demos?
