Unable to load DLL 'git2-b7bad55' or one of its dependencies: The specified module could not be found.

[GurdipS5]

Hi,
I am trying to run a Pulumi program (basically a dotnet core console application) on Windows Server 2022. Using NBGV 3.5.119

I set the env var NBGV_GitEngine=LibGit2 as I was getting error about a commit sha not found, now I get this;

MSBuild version 17.3.2+561848881 for .NET

Is there a way to fix this?

[GurdipS5]

The issue I got before the env key was: #595

I can't yet fix either?

[AArnott]

I can repro this. I'll check it out.

[AArnott]

It appears this is broken for two reasons: on .NET it fails because the lib folder in the native binaries was changed to runtimes, and on .NET Framework it broke because adding the native folder to the PATH no longer works.
