Thanks for the reply, In my project I have tried all 3 DLLs in all potential folders as follows:
D:\csharp\repos\cwtess4 |__ D:\csharp\repos\cwtess4\cwtess4 |__ liblept1741.dll |__ libtesseract400.dll |__ Tesseract.dll |__ D:\csharp\repos\cwtess4\cwtess4\bin |__ liblept1741.dll |__ libtesseract400.dll |__ Tesseract.dll |__ D:\csharp\repos\cwtess4\cwtess4\bin\x64 |__ liblept1741.dll |__ libtesseract400.dll |__ Tesseract.dll |__ D:\csharp\repos\cwtess4\cwtess4\bin\x64\Release |__ liblept1741.dll |__ libtesseract400.dll |__ Tesseract.dll |__ D:\csharp\repos\cwtess4\cwtess4\bin\x64\Debug |__ liblept1741.dll |__ libtesseract400.dll |__ Tesseract.dll This exception appears at runtime: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: 'Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.' Inner Exception DllNotFoundException: Failed to find library "liblept1741.dll" for platform x64. I see on the page you mention that a common reason might be "The Visual Studio 2015 C++ runtime" not being installed, but I am using Visual Studio 2017 which doesn't allow me to install the earlier version of the runtime.
