I am also facing similar issue on windows platform.

info : VIX: OBJLIB-LIB: Objlib initialized.
info : VIX: VixDiskLib: Attempting to locate advanced transport module in "\executable-path\/vix".
info : VIX: VixDiskLib: Could not load default plugins from \executable-path\/vix\bin\disklibplugin.dll: Cannot open library: The specified module could not be found.
info : VIX: VixDiskLib: Advanced transport module not loaded.
info : VIX: VixDiskLib: Using transport modes from DiskLib: file:nbdssl:nbd.
info : VIX: VMware VixDiskLib (6.7) Release build-10362358

in my case disklibplugin.dll is copied into the same directory as main executable. did the solution mentioned here worked for you?

Do I also need to create lib64 and copy dlls there rather than current directory?
