Bug is ADE but not in ADP

I create a ADP project and when I deliver it to client, I need to compile it into ADE file and then create installation package. However, I experience some bugs are not in ADP file but happenning in the ADE file and installation package. I would like to know why does it happen and what are the differences between ADP and ADE?

It's likely to be a problem with library references.  The required libraries might not be present on the target machine or might be in different locations or be different versions, if the Access version or O/S is different to your development machine.

Library paths are hard coded into the app when you convert to an ade.

If it is the case, how can I solve this problem? I do need to deploy the installation package to the clients. Thanks.

This answer give the reason why the problem is happening. However ,the solution (late binding) will impact a big change in a code and then more testing are involved.
