Runtime issue with onnxruntime-win-x64-1.18.1

[M3nxudo]

Describe the issue

With the latest version of the prebuilt release files downloaded from https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/releases?page=1 , this specific download onnxruntime-win-x64-1.18.1.zip
I can correctly link the libraries and compile the project (i have stripped it down to the minimum dependencies) but whenever i execute it I get a runtime error before any code executes.
Exception thrown at 0x00007FFFBCA03080 (msvcp140.dll) in CoreORTwVS.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000000.

I have double checked the configuration of the project, have tested with both a cmake project and a Visual Studio project, made sure dlls are in the execution directory but still can't fix the issue.

Additionally, if i change the include and library files to the 1.12.1 release, I can load the dependencies and perform tests with different models with no issues at all.

To reproduce

#include <iostream>
#include <onnxruntime_cxx_api.h>

int main() {
    try {
        std::cout << "Initializing ONNX Runtime..." << std::endl;
        Ort::Env env(ORT_LOGGING_LEVEL_WARNING, "test");
        std::cout << "ONNX Runtime initialized successfully." << std::endl;
    }
    catch (const Ort::Exception& e) {
        std::cerr << "ONNX Runtime error: " << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
    catch (const std::exception& e) {
        std::cerr << "Standard exception: " << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
    catch (...) {
        std::cerr << "Unknown exception occurred" << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Urgency

We are trying to migrate our application to the new releases of Onnxruntime, to use some new operators that our models need that are not found on older versions of the runtime

Tested all other release versions 1.12 - 1.18.0 and could load the library without the issue.

Notes
1, Tested with GPU version with cuda_12.4.0_551.61_windows displayed the same error.
2, Remove onnxruntime.dll in System32 and SysWOW64 and copied all the DLLs from onnxruntime-win-x64-gpu-cuda12-1.18.1 to execution folder , it showed the same error.

It's obviously that we missed a DLL called msvcp140.dll in our system from your debug exception , so download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2022 Redistributable according to https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/vcruntime140dll-and-msvcp140dll-missing-in-windows/220f1caf-8eb9-413d-a7fe-1b13df1bfa5d and install it, now the issue got fixed.

I encountered the same issue with onnxruntime-win-x64-gpu-cuda12-1.18.1.zip from the release, and I confirmed that Visual C++ Redistributable v14.40.33810 was installed. The issue remains.

The error is the same:

Exception thrown at 0x00007FFBCAE22F58 (msvcp140.dll) in Autopilot.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000000.

I confirmed that Visual C++ Redistributable v14.40.33810 was installed.

It is not enough. You need check what DLL was actually loaded. Because you may have multiple msvcp140.dll on the same machine.

See: #21102 (comment)

Updated our nuget packages to use this latest version in our deployed clients can confirm it's throwing access violation exceptions on all deployments. Rolled back to 1.16.3 and it's fine.

i run on 1.16.3 but same error.

Not a bug of ONNX Runtime. Please use a debugger to check which msvcp140.dll was loaded into the process and check the DLL's version.
