Hmm, the only thing I can think of is that the PATH environment variable
is different when launched from a shortcut vs double-clicked?

Which would be a little odd, but it does sound like the problem is the
library isn't being found; and as far as I know Windows just does a
normal "grab a list of paths from an environment variable and check each
directory" when resolving shared libraries.
