Unable to find an entry point named 'OrtGetApiBase' in DLL 'onnxruntime'

Aspose.OCR Product Family
1

When trying to use Aspose.OCR, I’m gettting exception:

The type initializer for ‘Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.NativeMethods’ threw an exception.
Unable to find an entry point named ‘OrtGetApiBase’ in DLL ‘onnxruntime’.

I’ve read some previous post about adding:

Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime
Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.MKLML

But that doesn’t work either.

You can easily reproduce this by creating a LinqPAD script with Aspose.OCR nuget and:

var lib = new AsposeOcr();
var text = lib.RecognizeLine(@“C:\Users\niels\Desktop\Screenshot_3.png”);
text.Dump();

We have tried to run LinqPad 5 (with AnyCpu version). This version supports .NET Framework only and does not allow to switch on x64 mode (only AnyCpu). So we have got the same error.

Aspose.OCR for .NET Framework does not support AnyCPU. You have to specify x64 directly.
