dotnet core application deployed on local service fabric throws Microsoft speech services exception

Question

I have a dotnet core 2.2 application that consumes Microsoft cognitive speech services version 1.8.0. The application is deployed on a single node local service fabric cluster.

I have added the service fabric support using visual studio 2019 Right click on root project -> Add -> Container Orchestrator Support -> Service Fabric

After successful deployment, when I hit the controller API I get following exception

> **System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL
> 'Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech.core.dll' or one of its
> dependencies: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from

I can see the docker publish folder in dotnet core application. Publish folder has win-x86 & win-x64 runtimes containing native Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech.core.dll & Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech.extension.kws.dll.

Can you check this similar github issue for some fixes people used? — LoekD
@LoekD - I tried all the given options. Still no luck. Even manually adding dll to the project root didn't work either. — anjalis
@LoekD - I was able to find a workaround for this issue & is posted as an answer. Thanks for your help. — anjalis

I was able to workaround this issue as described here.

Looks like the issue is with VC++ runtime. These dlls are required for working with Microsoft Speech APIs but are not copied into the container by default. So, I updated my docker file to copy the VC++ runtime dlls into the container & it worked.
