System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'libSkiaSharp': The specified module could not be found

Hi Aspose Support

We have a .NET Core 2.0 web api service using Aspose.Words that when hosted in IIS on Windows 10 converts the attached document however when we move it to our clients environment hosted in IIS on Server 2008 R2 we are experiencing the following error:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for ‘SkiaSharp.SKManagedStream’ threw an exception. —> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL ‘libSkiaSharp’: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) at SkiaSharp.SkiaApi.sk_managedstream_set_delegates(IntPtr pRead, IntPtr pPeek, IntPtr pIsAtEnd, IntPtr pRewind, IntPtr pGetPosition, IntPtr pSeek, IntPtr pMove, IntPtr pGetLength, IntPtr pCreateNew, IntPtr pDestroy) at SkiaSharp.SKManagedStream…cctor() — End of inner exception stack trace — at SkiaSharp.SKStream.WrapManagedStream(Stream stream) at SkiaSharp.SKBitmap.Decode(Stream stream) at .1 at .[1](Stream [1], SKRectI

If we remove the image from the file then it will convert. I have noted some other forum posts mentioning issues loading “libSkiaSharp” however there are no answers or work arounds offered…

Hi

We have managed to resolve this issue. If it occurs for anyone else, our fix was to install the VS 2017 C++ x64 redistributable on our target environment.
