Not clear how this is related to onnxruntime. Can you please elaborate?

onnxruntime.dll depends on this api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll.

[skottmckay]

Where did you get the onnxruntime dll from and what version is it?

api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll is a low-level windows library. You may need to install a Visual C++ Redistributable package such as

1.14.1 from Nuget. I have already installed the latest vcredist (The screenshot on the original thread shows it is installed)

The onnxruntime binary was built with Visual Studio 2019 and the dll in question comes from a Windows 'api set' which isn't something we distribute directly. It's just a lightweight redirection dll to point to a function in kernelbase.dll and I'm not sure how to get that particular version onto a Windows Server 2012 machine if installing the VC++ redist package wasn't enough.

Might be worth trying building directly to see if that changes the dependencies. https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/build/inferencing.html#windows

I tried to download lots of api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0-dll from internet, none of them works.

I found this article:
error api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll is missing from your computer when saving pdf in Acrobat Reader RC

The weird thing is that I tried to search my local computer on which my app works, I still can not find that dll file under C:\Windows\SysWOW64. I only found api-ms-win-core-heap-l1-1-0.dll.

Some related links:
APIs present on all Windows 10 devices

I don't know if other people needs to deploy their apps on Windows earlier than Windows-10. I guess technically onnxruntime could use LoadLibrary against LocalFree function to avoid this problem.

🤔 According to https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/releases/tag/v1.13.1, "Support for Windows 7+ Desktop versions (including Windows servers) will be retained by building ONNX Runtime from source". So ORT should be able to run on Windows Server 2012 R2 too, if built locally. However, I don't know what command line switches must be passed to the build to configure it correctly. (I'd be interested to know though, because I have a personal ORT-based app I want to run on Win7 too)

I guess we have to build it from source for this moment. It is not available in conan-index, otherwise we could use conan:(

@skottmckay @fdwr "Windows builds are not compatible with Windows 8.x in this release. Please use v1.11 for now." great news, I looked dependency walker with onnxruntime.dll v1.11.1, it seems it doesn't depends on api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll.

@sinall Help, do you try on win server 2012 onnxruntime support last version is v1.11.1?

You can implement it yourself to support Windows 7. The issue is resolved here:
