Unhandled exception when running Tesseract OCR

Question

I am trying to use tesseract for the very first time and i get the following error when i compile:

Unhandled exception at 0x76F88F05 (ntdll.dll) in lpr.exe: 0xC0150002: 
Windows was not able to process the application binding information. 
Please refer to your System Event Log for further information.

Can anyone help me?

Here's the code :

char *outText;

tesseract::TessBaseAPI *api = new tesseract::TessBaseAPI();
// Initialize tesseract-ocr with English, without specifying tessdata path
if (api->Init(NULL, "eng")) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Could not initialize tesseract.\n");
    exit(1);
}

// Open input image with leptonica library
Pix *image = pixRead("B:\Projects\Visual 2013\lpr\lpr\placuta.jpeg");
api->SetImage(image);
// Get OCR result
outText = api->GetUTF8Text();
printf("OCR output:\n%s", outText);

// Destroy used object and release memory
api->End();
delete[] outText;
pixDestroy(&image);

Eventlog message:

Activation context generation failed for "B:\Projects\Visual 2013\lpr\lpr\libtesseract302d.dll".

Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
