Another way to reproduce the same error is to create a c# .net framework console application with the following lines:

SessionOptions ops = new SessionOptions(); ops.AppendExecutionProvider_OpenVINO(openVinoDeviceId);
This will trigger an EntryPointNotFoundException:
"Unable to find an entry point named 'OrtSessionOptionsAppendExecutionProvider_OpenVINO' in DLL 'onnxruntime'."

Inspecting the built onnxruntime.dll with Dependencies.exe reveals the entry point "OrtSessionOptionsAppendExecutionProvider_OpenVINO" is absent:

So, I guess you compiled it from source.

Could you please open cmake/CMakeLists.txt and change

if (onnxruntime_USE_OPENVINO)
    list(APPEND ORT_PROVIDER_FLAGS -DUSE_OPENVINO=1)
    list(APPEND ORT_PROVIDER_CMAKE_FLAGS -Donnxruntime_USE_OPENVINO=1)
endif()

to

if (onnxruntime_USE_OPENVINO)
    list(APPEND ORT_PROVIDER_FLAGS -DUSE_OPENVINO=1)
    list(APPEND ONNXRUNTIME_PROVIDER_NAMES openvino)                               #add this line
    list(APPEND ORT_PROVIDER_CMAKE_FLAGS -Donnxruntime_USE_OPENVINO=1)
endif()

Then rebuild it. From the build log you should see something like:

         Generating symbol file for ['cpu', 'openvino']

Let me if the patch will fix the issue.
