Console Object, Now you see it, now you don't

This should be a simple problem, but I can't figure it out. I added a console object to the engine. I built the engine with MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Ed. and when I run my project from the VC++ debugger, my scripts can instantiate and access the console object and it works fine. But when I launch the tgb/TorqueGameBuilder_DEBUG.exe file directly from windows, the scripts don't see the object (Unable to instantiate non-conobject class t2dDShow). The date on the .exe I'm running tells me it is the one I'm building. Running the same project/scripts in both cases. Am I missing something?

I added a ConsoleInit function to my object with a Con::printf and it is definitely getting initialized. I have the right executable and the engine knows about the object. Why can't the scripts get at it?

I built a release configuration and it works fine from windows. I don't what is up with my Debug configuration, but as long as I have an engine I can use I'm not going to worry about it.

Try doing a full rebuild.

I tried that. No luck. I'm still curious about the difference. I don't have any DEBUG flags set or anything. I'm still stumped.
