Research direction

Reproduce the report on Windows 11 with QuickLook 4.5.0-216 and the HelixViewer plugin. Start with QuickLook.Plugin.HelixViewer\runtimes\win-x64\native\assimp.dll and compare the errors shown in the attached screenshots; done means the plugin loads without the reported assimp error without requiring a copy to C:\Windows\System32.
