```

I've searched for a while, and some answers say that maybe the `vcpkg` lead this error, but I don't know how to solve it. If someone can help me, i'll be reallllly grateful.

Research direction

Reproduce the minimal require("pulsar-client") case from test.js on Windows with Node 18.4.0, then inspect node_modules/bindings/bindings.js and node_modules/pulsar-client/index.js along with the linked README and C++ setup documentation. Done means the native Pulsar.node module loads successfully without ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED.
