Fix: "Lumion Channel Not Found in Installation Skipping Load Routine" Starting Lumion only to be greeted by the "Channel not found in installation skipping load routine"

• "Channel" : In Lumion’s internal architecture, a "channel" refers to a specific rendering pipeline or a component of the material/lighting system (e.g., the Albedo channel, Specular channel, or Normal map channel). It is not a network or YouTube channel.
• "Not found in installation" : The Lumion executable is looking for a specific DLL (Dynamic Link Library) or internal resource file that contains definitions for these rendering channels. The installer has either failed to place this file, or Lumion is looking in the wrong location.
• "Skipping load routine link" : This is Lumion’s fail-safe. When it cannot find the required channel component, it bypasses (skips) the linking process to prevent a hard crash. Unfortunately, skipping usually results in a non-functional renderer, missing textures, or an immediate shutdown.
