EQEmulator Forums - Zone.exe Crash

so, been banging my head for a while now trying to figure this out. lost on what it could be though

"zone.exe - application error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00007b). Click OK to close the application."

keeps poping up everytime zone.exe trys to start. from searches i've done, this means that its not calling perl for some reason or another. but just to double check. i did a process explore just to see what modules it was calling.
this is the dmp file i got back.

Code:

so. it is calling the perl that i have installed on my computer. little side note. all the other parts of my server are working fine. its only zone.exe thats crashing.
i turned on everything on my logs and turn my verb to 10 to see if that helped. nope.. didn't even spit out a error log or anything.
using the latest db and latest server version from git. recompiled in both release mode and dbg mode. have all the files from dbg mode inside my server folder.
hoping one of you guys can help out. plz let me know if you need any other info.
