[LLVMdev] LLVM 3.4 RC3 fails to run on Win32

[Peter Newman]

I suggest the use of Dependency Walker 
(http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to check for errors. This tests for 
things like Side-by-side versions of DLLs.

In my experience any failure, in a Win32 console application, will 
produce that error message.

That said, I am guessing here, I have no experience with these pre-built 
binaries etc.
