Description

The native dll is missing in AnyCPU package comparing with x64 version.

• Magick.NET version:
• Environment (Operating system, version and so on): windows 10
• Additional information:

Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU nuget package

Magick.NET-Q16-x64 nuget package

[dlemstra]

As you can read in docs/Readme.md the library is included as an embedded resource. So it is correct that you cannot find it in the NuGet package.

When I install with Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU-7.14.0 nuget package, it throw with the following exception:

The type initializer for 'NativeMagickSettings' threw an exception. Unable to load DLL 'Magick.Native-Q16-x64.dll' or one of its dependencies: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) 

System.TypeInitializationException:
   at ImageMagick.MagickSettings+NativeMagickSettings..ctor (Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU, Version=7.14.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2004825badfa91ec)
   at ImageMagick.MagickSettings..ctor (Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU, Version=7.14.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2004825badfa91ec)
   at ImageMagick.MagickImage..ctor (Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU, Version=7.14.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2004825badfa91ec)

However, it is no problem when I install with Magick.NET-Q16-x64-7.14.0 nuget package only means it does not work without runtimes folders.

It looks like your application cannot create the folder for the embedded resources in %temp%. Have you tried setting MagickAnyCPU.CacheDirectory?

[hermanho]

I tried with MagickAnyCPU.CacheDirectory = "C:\temp\" and everyone with full permission. There is no files outputted in that folder. When I step in with source code, the method "NativeLibraryLoader.Load" has not called so the embedded resource has not extracted.

[dlemstra]

Are you using the .netstandard2.0 version of the library or the net4.0 one?

[hermanho]

netstandard2.0, my project is asp.net core 2.2 and targetFramework is netcoreapp2.2

[dlemstra]

Then you will need to switch to the x64 version. At this moment there is no AnyCPU support for the netstandard2.0 build.

[hermanho]

It is breaking change! It works on Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU v7.13.1 but developers have to install x64 version when v7.14.0.

[dlemstra]

That was never my intention but I will take a look at this later tonight to confirm this.

[dlemstra]

Well it looks like you are right. It seems that I added support for the AnyCPU build for all platforms at some point in time. I really don't remember that I did this. But I will make sure I will publish a new release this weekend or next week to resolve your issue. Thanks for reporting this 👍

Is this on NuGet yet? Also, when was this bug introduced - what version can I roll back to to fix it?

[dlemstra]

If you would read this issue you can get all the information that you are asking?
