I solved this problem more quickly.
Solution: Add these codes inside the Project.Service.csproj
What you might be experiencing could be a misleading error message, if you don’t have the VSRedist 2015 package installed on the machine/server. (typical for use of c++ libraries)
You could try using my powershell module to detect/silently install the redistributable package: PowershellVsRedistInstaller
You can also just check the powershell code to find where to check in the registry or check where to download the files.

I used that and it worked very well.
Having this issue on an azure function. Has anyone gotten this to work in an azure function?
I have lost a number of hours trying to resolve this issue on OSX and have finally found the solution which is quite obvious in hindsight. Hopefully it helps someone in the future.
Windows reference - libwkhtmltox.dll OSX reference - libwkhtmltox.dylib Linux reference - libwkhtmltox.os
Obviously make you you reference the correct file for your OS.

I needed to solve this without installing any packages. I managed to solve it by downloading all 3 files (dll, dylib and so) and putting them into the project directory. Then I added this into the .csproj file:
<ItemGroup> <None Update="libwkhtmltox.dll"> <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory> <CopyToPublishDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToPublishDirectory> </None> <None Update="libwkhtmltox.dylib"> <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory> <CopyToPublishDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToPublishDirectory> </None> <None Update="libwkhtmltox.so"> <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory> <CopyToPublishDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToPublishDirectory> </None> </ItemGroup>It’s worked. Thanks bro
