title: Unable to load DLL 'opencv_core290
body: <p>In my winforms application I need to use some Emgu.CV libraries (I have installed Emgu 2.9).</p>
  
  <p>Problem is that I get the following error: </p>

  <p>This happens when trying to instantiate a new Tesseract object:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var tesseract = new Tesseract("", "eng", Tesseract.OcrEngineMode.OEM_TESSERACT_CUBE_COMBINED);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Since referencing "opencv_core290" does not work, I tried the workaround provided <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/257502/Creating-Your-First-EMGU-Image-Processing-Project" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Basically, I copied the .dll to my project, added it by using "Add existing resource"
  and modified it's property to "Copy always". This did not work however. Thanks for any help!</p>
