Could this be somethingl ike missing PGDLLIMPORT specifications in your
addon module or something like that? Try checking the names of the
functions that are actually exported using "depends" or a similar tool.

Actually, this looks like perhaps the backend is unable to load a DLL
that plr.dll depends on. Again, the "depends" tool can hopefully show
you what's missing there.
