Unable to find an entry point named 'whisper_init_from_file_no_state' in DLL 'whisper'

I get an error when initializing WhisperFactory:

System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'whisper_init_from_file_no_state' in DLL 'whisper'.
   at Whisper.net.Native.NativeMethods.whisper_init_from_file_no_state(String path)
   at Whisper.net.Internals.ModelLoader.WhisperProcessorModelFileLoader.LoadNativeContext()
   at Whisper.net.WhisperFactory..ctor(IWhisperProcessorModelLoader loader, Boolean delayInit, String libraryPath, Boolean bypassLoading)
   at Whisper.net.WhisperFactory.FromPath(String path, Boolean delayInitialization, String libraryPath, Boolean bypassLoading)

Tested with both version 1.4.3 and 1.4.2 on Windows Server 2022 x64 AMD EPYC.

            using (var whisperFactory = WhisperFactory.FromPath(modelPath)) // this gives exception
            {
                 // ...
            }

Hello @7702244,

Did you also install the Runtime package with the same version?

e.g

    <PackageReference Include="Whisper.net" Version="1.4.3" />
    <PackageReference Include="Whisper.net.Runtime" Version="1.4.3" />

Hello @sandrohanea,

Yes, of course. I installed both packages of the same version.

I just tried it on win-x64 and it was working as expected (we also have CI for it).

Can you, please, try to install: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe just to make sure you have the VC Redistributable and if it's still not working, can you, please, confirm if you're using any example from this repo or you have some custom implementation?

In case of a custom implementation, please, try with https://github.com/sandrohanea/whisper.net/tree/main/examples/SimpleWhisperExample

I found where the problem was. The error occurs if you add to the project nuget package "WhisperNet", which works with the GPU.

Yes, that's a different package (not related to Whisper.net): https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper
