Process finished with exit code -1073741515

I'm receiving this error while tying to put together a simple pybind cmake example app.

Process finished with exit code -1073741515 (0xC0000135)

I've been google for hours now trying to figure out the source of this error. When i comment out the lines utilizing pybind (First 3 lines in main). It compiles and runs correctly and reaches the print statement. I'm pretty new to CMake so it's possible i set it up wrong. I added the lines pointing to python because I was receiving errors about missing python dll's. I'm using CLion and MSVS 2017 if that makes any difference.

example.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <../pybind11/include/pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <../pybind11/include/pybind11/embed.h>
#include <CImg.h>

namespace py = pybind11;
using namespace py::literals;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    py::scoped_interpreter guard{};

    auto example = py::module::import("example");
    auto resultobj = example.attr("add")(2,2);
    int result = resultobj.cast<int>();
    std::cout << result;
}

example.py

def add(a,b):
    return a+b

Start with src/example.cpp and CMakeLists.txt, especially the pybind11 embedding setup and the Python 3.7 library path. Build and run the example on the reported Windows configuration, then identify which runtime dependency produces exit code 0xC0000135; done means the example launches and prints the result without manually commenting out the pybind11 lines.
