I have an application working fine locally. The app uses the Glyphreader OCR module.

When published via ClickOnce, I get a FileNotFoundException "The specified module cannot be found". Everything else in the app is working but it's not picking up the Atalasoft stuff, any ideas?

Looks like it's barfing on this:

OcrEngine engine = new GlyphReaderEngine();
engine.Initialize();

Are you deploying the resources and calling GlyphReaderLoader with the path?  The best place to do this is in the static constructor of your main form -- it has to happen before any OCR is called.

public static Form1()
{
   GlyphReaderLoader loader = new GlyphReaderLoader(@"c:\path_to_resources");
   if (!loader.Loaded)
   {
       MessageBox.Show("Failed to load OCR Resources");
   }
}

 

Where Form1 would be replaced with your form's name and the path would be to where you are deploying GlyphReader resources.  The path you choose should then have the directory path

 GlyphReader\v2.0\

inside of it, with the resources in the v2.0 directory.

You can find the necessary files in your installation at

 

C:\Program Files\Atalasoft\DotImage 6.0\bin\OcrResources

Hi there, good catch! Thanks for that.

I have a slight problem though - in ClickOnce you don't know the deployment path, they are generated by ClickOnce, example:

C:\Users\bobflemming\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\0QPLK9P1.WYB\NGWW98VO.VVY\atal...lib_2b02b46f7326f73b_0006.0000_none_bbad35cc60d2c47a

is the location of Atalasoft.dotImage.Lib.dll

Many thanks

Try this:

        private string GetAssemblyPath()
        {
            Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            return Path.GetDirectoryName(asm.Location);
        }
