KeyNotFoundException when running sample

[CapCap]

using(var engine = new TesseractEngine( "./tessdata", "eng", EngineMode.Default ))
causes error:

Thanks for the bug report, will be fixed in the next release.

Note: That this was occurring because it failed to find the dlls might be worth turning on tracing for the 'Tesseract' source to work out where it's looking:

<system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source name="Tesseract" switchValue="Information">
        <listeners>
          <add name="configConsoleListener" type="System.Diagnostics.ConsoleTraceListener" />
        </listeners>
      </source>
    </sources>
</system.diagnostics>

As the 'fix' just throws a more explicit error it won't resolve the underlying issue.

I'm experiencing the same exception with the same line of code.

There is an inner Exception that says "The given key was not present in the dictionary."

I did not have this problem when I used the nuget package in a WCF application project, but when I created a class library then referenced the class library from a different WCF project it started happening.

Hopefully that helps, and thank you for maintaining this code! Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

I ran into this when distributing a class library to a fresh machine. I turned on verbose logging to discover that the library it was unable to load was the MS Visual C++ Redistributable. Installing this resolved the issue: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679#

I'll double check to make sure I have the C++ redistributables installed tomorrow.

I was using the same machine the entire time... Interesting that it works in the WCF service and not the class library.... I will update tomorrow, thank you!!

Grab the dependency walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) and use that to open up the lib files in the platform (x86 or x64 depending on your machine). That'll tell you if a dependency, MSVCRT*.dll or something else, is missing.

Also double check the native tesseract dlls (x86 and x64) are being
distributed. If your taking a reference on a class library these may NOT be
being copied to your program's bin file.
