[Gtk-sharp-list] TypeInitializationException with Gtk# 2.12.10 on Windows Vista

[Zach Bean]

Hi all,

I'm building a Gtk# application that I'm hoping I'll be able to use on both
Windows and Linux.  Up till recently, I've been using Linux / MonoDevelop
exclusively, but I've now gotten it into my head that I'd like to see it
running on Windows as well.

I've installed the Gtk# runtime, version 2.12.10, but when I try running my
app, it exits immediately.  Debugging with Visual Studio Express 2008 shows
that it's a "System.TypeInitializationException" being thrown on
Gtk.Application.Init.  Apparently the cause was a DllNotFoundException
complaining about not being able to load libgthread-2.0-0.dll ({"Unable to
load DLL 'libgthread-2.0-0.dll': The specified procedure could not be found.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007F)"}).

I see the same issue on Windows 7, but not on Windows XP.

I've confirmed that c:\Program Files\GtkSharp\2.12\bin is in my Path, and
I've rebooted a couple of times.  I've even tried installing an older
version of Gtk# (not too much older, though -- 2.12.9) to no avail.  I also
couldn't turn up anything by Googling.

Does anyone out there have any other ideas I could try to get this working? 
I have to confess that Windows is not my area of expertise, so I've pretty
much exhausted my list of things to try.

Much appreciated,
Zach Bean
