InstallationPath Permission Error 1772

OCR Exception:Iron OCR InstallationPath Permission Error 1772. Could not deploy and run IronOCR resources to path '' for user 'TRANS2000\nmitra'. This can be fixed globally by setting IronOcrInstallation.InstallationPath to a directory on disk with file read and write permissions. Please refer to documentation at http://ironsoftware.com/csharp/ocr/docs/html/P_IronOcr_IronOcrInstallation_InstallationPath.htm

Any update on this issue? I am also having it. I have raised a support ticket as well with no luck.

That permission message is pretty misleading and wrong for most of the cases, I solved it by installing the c++ runtime (32+64) and it works like a charm!

I did not realize ironOCR does not support .net core. That ended up being my problem.

I created a .net full api project to expose the functionality to myself as a work around.

IronOCR supports .NET Core since version 2020.11.2, released in November 2020. (Also Linux, MacOS, Mono, Xamarin Mac).
