SDL unable to open application

I have seen several other people have this problem, then solve it by using the other kind of SDL.dll(eg. 32-bit instead of 64-bit). However, I get the error

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000be). Click OK to close the application.

no matter what SDL.dll I use. So far, the only solution does not work for me, anyone have any suggestions?
What does your debugger say? Copy and paste the error here so that we have more information.

Are you able to build anything with SDL? Or is this failing on the first chapter of the tutorial? It's possible that some other DLL is giving you the same generic problem.

Are you using a nightly build? These are beta versions of the Library and are expected to have some issues.

Have you tried dropping the DLL in your working directory? That's the first place Windows looks for it when it is linked to by a relative path so you have more control over which version you are using.

Are you BUILDING with 32 bit libs? Try that.
Tried it, it worked. Thanks.
