[Python] OSError with Tesseract

I want to OCR one pdf file and detect table using img2table in Jupyter. However, i can't properly execute it because of problem with OSError. It can't find Tesseract in the system despite actually being installed with path to it My code:

import pytesseract as ps
ps.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe'
import cv2
from pandas import DataFrame as df
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
from img2table.ocr import TesseractOCR
from img2table.document import Image as TableImage

pdf_path = 'file.pdf'

pages=convert_from_path(pdf_path, poppler_path=r'C:\poppler-24.08.0\Library\bin')

for i, page_image in enumerate(pages, start=1):
print(f"\n--- Страница {i} ---")


img = np.array(page_image)


gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
_, thresh = cv2.threshold(gray, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV + cv2.THRESH_OTSU)


pil_img = Image.fromarray(thresh)
stamp_img=TableImage(pdf_path, detect_rotation=True)
stamp=stamp_img.extract_tables(ocr=TesseractOCR(lang="rus"))
text = ps.image_to_string(pil_img, lang='rus')
print(text.strip())
for s in stamp:
stamp=s.df
print(stamp)


Error log:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

OSError: Tesseract not found in environment. Check variables and PATH


How can i solve this problem without changing PATH
