I compile the examples and after recompiling the libraries and redirecting where the .lib files are, I get it to work.

So then I am working on my own program, bring in an example and it's crashing on query.storein(res);

I copy the debug libraries from both mysql++ and mysql into the source file, same thing. copy the release files, it just crashes differently.

This is highly frustrating. If the libraries work for some source they would work for the EXACT same source in another directory.
