Hi Jacque,
It might not be this, but it sounds awfully similar to a problem I had,
attempting to deploy a standalone built with 8.1.0 dp 3 to Windows.
Details here, including a patched version of tsNet.dll which fixed the issue
for me:
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18205
The bug report changed status to "AWAITING_RELEASE" just this afternoon (UK
time) so my guess is that the new dll didn't make it into rc1.
If you're in a hurry to solve this, I suggest trying the patched version -
note Charles Warwick's comment #2, it may be necessary to build with the new
version, rather than just replacing it after the fact.
HTH,
Ben

Due to an audio bug fix we needed, we were forced to compile and release an
app using 8.1rc1. Some Windows users are regularly receiving the error "failed
to load external" when the app launches. This renders the app useless.
So far we have heard from both Windows 7 and Windows 10 users. The external
folder in the app contains revBrowser.dll and tsNet.dll.
Does anyone know why this would happen? The externals are obviously there (we
got screen shots) so I assume they are being found. Could virus scanners block
this? Are there any other reasons?
It would be nice if the error message would tell us which external wouldn't
load. Right now the students who use the app are pretty pissed off because
they can't complete their assignments.
