Well what possibly could be in the code of a DLL that would prevent it from
being loaded into memory using LoadLibrary[Ex].  The dependencies, for one.
Perhaps the newer libxml2 is being built linked against a required library
that isn't present.  Perform a

 dumpbin /imports libxml2.dll

and compare the libraries it imports with the old working dll.
