- SDK module_win32 LoadLibraryW khong search thu muc plugin cho dependency DLLs
- setPluginSearchPath: bundle folder -> Contents/x86_64-win; file don -> parent dir
- ap dung ca render (vst3FxLoadInner) lan scan (scanModuleInner)
- test: ~30 plugin iZotope/RX load OK; Melodyne COM 0x80010106 la plugin dac thu (STA+license)
