You need to make sure that whereever you have the XML4C dlls that you also have the corresponding icu/data subdirectory. The XML4C dlls look for converter files in this relative path that they need in order to initialize. If they are not there, you will see the behavior you just described.

Inside mydll.dll, I use IBM XML4C2 parser to parse a XML file. When it excutes "XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();", the app exits automatically. What might be wrong? Thanks in advance. Wenfeng
