Problem with using MODI for OCR from C#

Question

Hi,

I'm using the Microsoft Office Document Imaging add-in to gather text from images and write them to XML via a simple C# application.

It runs fine for EN-US, FR and ES. But, for all other languages, I get the following exception thrown:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC6C8111E): OCR: bad language 

From some Googling, I've determined that EN-US, FR, and ES are built in languages, but for all other languages, I need to install a language pack.

I've installed languages packs on my OS (Windows 7) via Windows Update, but I still see this issue for other languages. I've even tried switching the OS language, and re-running my application, but to no avail. I also tried installing an Italian language pack for MS Office 2007, and switched my default language to Italian, but I still get the 'bad language' exception.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Should it be enough to just install the language pack in order to get MODI to work on a particular language?

 

Thanks.
