But I also find that the current directory matters when initializing the TesseractEngine, because the samples use ".\tessdata", where "." means current directory which means this only works if the current directory is set to the parent of that folder. A more general solution is this:

var path = typeof(MainWindow).Assembly.Location;
var dir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
var data = System.IO.Path.Combine(dir, "tessdata");
var engine = new TesseractEngine(data, "eng", EngineMode.LstmOnly);

That did the trick for me, since I was using AppContext.BaseDirectory before but that didn't work
