I have VS 2005 dll project. DLL gets load in test application properly.
When i converted the DLL project to VS 2008 project using VS migration wizard.It compiles successfully and produces a DLL. But when i run Test application , It fires the error

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142).

Test application is also a VS 2008 project. All required dependencies are in place and compiled using VS 2008 only.
Can anyone tell/help me the reason behind it.

LITTLE UPDATE

I am using OCI(Oracle C interface) API in one of my dependent dll. When i commented

OCI_Cleanup()

and

OCI_Initialize()

function calls, Application gets executed successfully.

Can anybody tell me what would be the problem with these OCI functions.

Does the error happen on your dev machine, or a different one?

You may just need to install redistributable packages for visual c++ 2008:

Or Visual C++ 2008 SP1:

I face this error on Dev machine.

Are you using OpenCV or some other libraries? A few weeks ago, I had headaches because I upgraded my OpenCV and I had a similar error. I couldn't make it work properly with Visual Studio 2008 so I gave up and went back to the previous version I had...

Excuse me. I have come across similiar problems. And i fail to remember what i had done with related files.
Working environment is also vs2008.

It could run properly in debug mode. However, it fails in release mode notifying me "Application failed to initialize properly(0xc0000034)".

Could you help me?

Please check the function DllMain of the problematic dll. Remove everything from the function and try. We should not call anything from the DllMain whose code is resided in another dll.

The problem occurs in exe. And orignially, it could run correctly. However, yesterday i replace several dll related to vs2008 in "c:\windows\system" or other directories(I cann't remember), the problem then occurs. It was ok in debug mode.
