Can you please try to use tesseract-ocr-3.02-win32-portable.zip<http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/detail?name=tesseract-ocr-3.02-win32-portable.zip> ?
I tried this on Win7 and it works for me: c:\tesseract-ocr\vs2008> set TESSDATA_PREFIX=c:\tesseract-ocr\ c:\tesseract-ocr\vs2008> tesseract phototest.tif phototest -l deu Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.02 with Leptonica c:\tesseract-ocr\vs2008> tesseract phototest.tif phototest-user -l deu config_file Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.02 with Leptonica c:\tesseract-ocr\vs2008> tesseract phototest.tif phototest-x -l deux Error opening data file c:\tesseract-ocr\tessdata/deux.traineddata Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory. Failed loading language 'deux' Tesseract couldn't load any languages! Could not initialize tesseract. c:\tesseract-ocr\vs2008> tesseract phototest.tif phototest-user -l spa config_file Error opening data file c:\tesseract-ocr\tessdata/spa.traineddata Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory. Failed loading language 'spa' Tesseract couldn't load any languages! Could not initialize tesseract.
