I think the problem probably lies in the current working directory. If you load your images with relative paths, as in "..\\Images\\Pic1.bmp" instead of absolute paths, as in "C:\\Games\\Project1\\Images\\Pic1.bmp" (which you probably do) then the current working directory might be set to the VC++ directory when you run it from inside the IDE. My suggestion is to set the current directory in your init function. There are probably some examples of this in the MSDN.
Good luck!
