The function `glfwInit()` will fail with this error on Windows due to `GetModuleHandleExW` failing to find the module which the `glfwInit()` function is part of. If you are ‘cloaking’ the DLL to prevent it from being found then this could be the reason it fails.
Since DLL injection is frequently used by hackers trying to add game overlays for cheating I will not provide further help.

Add the following dependencies to your project
```auto
opengl32.lib
glfw3dll.lib
```
This will fix your issue. Ensure that the DLL is available on the client’s computer so that your loader can locate it.
