Describe the Bug

I'm creating a pkg with a compiled typescript build with an imported .dll file with ffi-napi and I'm getting this error:

Error: Dynamic Linking Error: Win32 error 126 at new DynamicLibrary (C:\snapshot\Amazon Bot\node_modules\ffi-napi\lib\dynamic_library.js:75:11) at Library (C:\snapshot\Amazon Bot\node_modules\ffi-napi\lib\library.js:47:10)

I have checked if the path to the file is correct and yes, it is. This is my package.json

{
  "name": "amazon-monitor",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "bin": "./build/index.js",
  "scripts": {

  },

  },
  "pkg": {
    "assets": [
      "assets/*",
      "node_modules/ffi-napi/**/*",
      "node_modules/ref-napi/**/*"
    ],
    "targets": [
      "node16-win-x64"
    ],
    "outputPath": "dist"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "cheerio": "^1.0.0-rc.12",
    "discord-webhook-node": "^1.1.8",
    "ffi-napi": "^4.0.3",
    "node-fetch": "^2.7.0",
    "node-machine-id": "^1.1.12"
  }
}

I have also checked and tried the solutions from https://github.com/vercel/pkg/issues/1744 but do not work for me.

I'm calling the .dll in this way:

const clientPath = path.join(__dirname, '..', '..', 'assets', 'client.dll');
    console.log('file exists:', existsSync(clientPath) ? 'yes' : 'no')

    return Library(clientPath, {
        request: ['string', ['string']],
        getCookiesFromSession: ['string', ['string']],
        addCookiesToSession: ['string', ['string']],
        freeMemory: ["void", ['string']],
        destroyAll: ['string', []],
        destroySession: ['string', ['string']]
    });

Expected Behavior

.exe starts without error

To Reproduce

Run npm run pkg and the executable will show this error: Error: Dynamic Linking Error: Win32 error 126 at new DynamicLibrary (C:\snapshot\Amazon Bot\node_modules\ffi-napi\lib\dynamic_library.js:75:11) at Library (C:\snapshot\Amazon Bot\node_modules\ffi-napi\lib\library.js:47:10)
