Deployment of Tesseract OCR library to windows PC

[jkrebsbach]

Deploying application with Vintasoft.Imaging.OCR
I've initialized the OCR Engine using:

Code: Select all

TesseractOcr = new VintasoftOcrDll.Tesseract.TesseractOcr(TesseractDataPath);

Most machines are working perfectly fine, but a few machines report:

Unable to load DLL 'C:\TesseractOCR\Tesseract5.Vintasoft.x86.dll' or one of its dependencies: The specified module could not be found. (0x8007007E)

Are there steps to help troubleshoot why the third party library appears to be having issues loading on some of my machines? I've tried having the Tesseract files in various paths, and also setting file access to full read/write for the user account to the entire directory structure and have not managed to get around this issue...

Hello,

Sorry for delay.

Please read how to prepare OCR engine for text recognition here: https://www.vintasoft.com/docs/vsimagin ... ition.html

Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package (32-bit version) must be installed on Windows computer for correct work of Tesseract5.Vintasoft.x86.dll.

Best regards, Alexander

Thank you - Sorry that I wasn't able to find that page without your help - I've added those instructions to our new machine setup process, and we should be able to make that work.
