Sorry, no idea, I don't do Windows. The folks who might be able to
comment on that probably aren't reading -novice --- you might try

It occurs to me that this might not be entirely independent of the
fact that you can't make the prebuilt .dll work for you, either.
But I'd just be guessing about that.
