DirectInput8Create() crashes

Question

Hello,

I have a 32 bit console program which listens to external USB triggers (sensoriumembedded.com). To listen, I initiate direct input with DirectInput8Create(). This works fine under the debugger in Visual Studio 2012. However, when the debug version of the program is run without VS2012, it crashes. Calling the post mortem debug, I find that the crash happens at DirectInput8Create(), trying to read some remote location (like 0x6AE4FF18), where shouldn't be anything.

Did anyone experience this behavior? Any tips?

Much appreciated,

    Yuri
