It sounds like the LC libs aren't being initialized.  Do you have a 
preOpenbackground handler on the first card of your standalone?  If so, 
try passing that message.

The silent fail is a an unfortunate IDE design decision, in which the 
error reporting dialog is not included by default.  Add that (see the 
last pane of the Standalone Builder) and I'll be what you get is a 
"handler not found" error.
