SOLVED DLL on different machines

Hi I've created a small C++ noise dll that works on my dev machine perfectly with gamemaker studio 2 when testing or using the executable. Whenever I try to use it on a different machine it won't load. I have it defined as an extension and also put it in included files as a test but I can't get it to load on different machines. Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

Did you clear your compile cache before building? Did the extension have the functions added and defined? Did you reference any machine-specific paths in your extension (e.g. your desktop path) that other people might not identically have?

I cleared the cache, the functions were added and defined in gamemaker. It doesn't reference any paths its just a simplex noise extension. Is it possible that not having visual studio installed on the other machines could affect it from working? Maybe I made some sort of mistake compiling the dll? I followed a tutorial from these forums using c++ and visual studio (I'd link it but I don't have enough posts yet for links).

Solved! I was accidentally using the debug build of the dll which won't work on other machines. Compiling a release version and replacing it fixed my issue.
