The first thought is a mismatch between the "bitness" of the library and that of the application. If the application is 32-bit then the library must be 32-bit also. Or 64-bit library for a 64-bit application.

But maybe there is a less visible "hard path" in the app code for loading the library; or a default somewhere for cpLocal, that reads the Registry entry and finds the regular client in the \bin\ folder of your server installation. I'll leave that for Jason to comment on as I don't have recent versions of any Delphi/IBO things.
