I would **strongly** recommend to download ICU sources and build it.
It is very simple, they provide Visual Studio projects so you can
**easily** build the correct version of ICU with debug and release
configurations and for correct MSVC (they use different runtime dlls).

This is the way I use ICU libraries. Believe me this is very simple.

I had numerous issues and unexpected crashes when I had build projects
with incorrect version of dlls and debug/release mismatch including ICU.

I assume this **may be** not the issue but I still strongly recommend you
to lineup versions/releases of ICU and your environment.
