fixing bugs in some cases when loading IBMTTS libraries.

the way of loading the libraries has been changed to minimize the possibility of errors.
If the driver can't load the library, a error entry will be shown in the log.
changed the way to determine the library being used. Now dll resources (ProductName) is used to determine it.
