Failed to load required native libraries in an outlook plugin
Summary
I receive the exception on the following line of code:
Core.Initialize();
Minimal project and steps to reproduce
My project is an Outlook add-in.
I am unsure how to reproduce it outside of this project. I created a brand new standalone solution and the same relative source code / method calls to the LibVLCSharp player worked.
Unfortunately, I am not able to share the project through git. It belongs to my employer and it is a commercial solution.
What is the current bug behavior?
The following exception:
LibVLCSharp.Shared.VLCException HResult=0x80131500 Message=Failed to load required native libraries. Have you installed the latest LibVLC package from nuget for your target platform?
On this line of code:
Core.Initialize();
What is the expected correct behavior?
It should run; simply pass through and continue.
Does it work on other plaforms? Does it work with the official VLC apps?
It runs in a separate, small standalone exe that I recreated.
