Unable to initialize engine instance with the following parameters

[Peter455a]

I have downloaded the trained data model for the English language from the official github repository for tesseract ocr and now when creating a new engine for checking if an image contains text then I copied the file "eng.traineddata" to the same path where the executable of the program lives and then I try to instantiate the engine like below with C#

using Tesseract;
//in a button or event handler 
var engine = new Tesserract("eng.traineddata","eng",EngineMode.Default);

Except that it's throwing an error that it cannot instantiate the engine with the provided parameters and I should check this repository(/charlesw) for help. I used the relative path of the trained data file but then am seeing other developers are pointing to a folder with the trained models for almost all languages. I am using the latest version of Tesseract, what am I doing wrong and does someone have a link to the zip file that has the contents of the tessdata folder that I can point to in my program instead of using a relative path?
