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.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

install C++ version as doc
build Release and set system variable as README
install pulsar-client successfully
require("pulsar-client")

node:18.4.0
system:Win 10

the minium error code is following:

const Pulsar = require('pulsar-client');

console.log(Pulsar);

but the terminal throw an error like

[Running] node "e:\pulsar-client-node\test.js"
e:\pulsar-client-node\node_modules\bindings\bindings.js:121
        throw e;
        ^

Error: The specified module could not be found.

}

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.
