I’ve been using MSB 224. Installed the OCR plugin, installed Tesseract5 on Windows 10 running under Parallels on an M1 Mac.

Looks like the tesseract 4/5 classes need the newer libraries.
You can download them here: The latest supported Visual C++ downloads or direct download.
Where in the MBS documentation does it say you need these libraries?
