I test an Extract rule, Kofax VRS or Convert to PDF MRC action and get a VRS error. What do I do?

You test or process a document through an Extract rule with the Deskew or Rotate option enabled, Kofax VRS or the Convert to PDF MRC action and you get a VRS-related error, like the following:

"Unable to load DLL "KernelAPI.dll"

"VrsEngine: timeout waiting for worker to create wait-handle"

"VrsWorker process vanished"

"Missing process one PDF page with VRS job result file"

Reason 1: There is a Visual C++ library file missing.

To solve this, please install the x86 version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-supported-redistributable-version

Reason 2: Your system’s Anti-Virus software is blocking the VRS engine.

If the previous solution doesn’t work, it may be related to the Anti-Virus settings of the machine running the MetaServer service.

For this case, please add the following folders to the Anti-Virus software’s exceptions list:

C:\ProgramData\CaptureBites
C:\Program Files (x86)\CaptureBites
C:\CaptureBites\

If the problem persists, please try temporarily disabling the Anti-Virus software and try running / installing the service or client again.

If this still does not solve the issue, please contact us through our online support form.
