Resources are available, for sure, regardless of the settings and configuration.
You problem is somewhere else. Are you sure you're loading from embedded resource? It can be a path name problem.

You can debug your code even in Release configuration and find where the problem is. Better yet (in this case), catch all the exception and dump exception information (with stack) to see the code lines where the exception is thrown and propagated. If you still cannot figure out the resolution, post this dump and relevant parts of the code.

There are no exceptions in code except that LoadBitmap is returning 0 to indicate resource is not available.

normally release/debug inconsistencies are due to

1. different build configs
2. uninitialised data (debug zero's everything)

So, I'd check for the resource actually being included in release, or the resource hinstance you're using being valid
