I am have created an Azure Cloud Service to analyze text in images. It uses this Python library which depends on the installation of Tesseract-OCR here. Specifically, I am using tesseract-ocr-setup-3.02.02.exe (one of the old versions because it has a Windows installer), which can be found here.
My problem is: this installer doesn't have a silent/automatic installation option, but I need it to automatically install itself when the Azure Cloud Service is being deployed. I can't be manually installing it every time I upload the cloud service, and especially after Azure restarts the Cloud Service VM for maintenance. Are there other options for getting Tesseract-OCR installed on the Azure Cloud Service VM so that the installation persists if Azure restarts the Cloud Service?
