Description

FreeImage.dll includes LibRawLite library.
It is compiled in x64 variant with OpenMP support.
It is not available on Windows Server 2016 & Windows Server 2019 out of the box unless you install vc_redist.x64.

So someone needs to recompile it without OpenMP or make a note that generally Visual Studio redist (2015 I suppose) is required here.

Research direction

Start by examining the FreeImage.dll binary and its LibRawLite build to confirm how OpenMP introduces the VCOMP140.dll dependency on Windows Server 2016 and 2019. Done means providing a replacement binary without OpenMP or documenting the required Visual Studio redistributable for users.
