Bad Image Format Exception Between 32bit And 64bit Machines
Mar 15, 2012
We have a winforms appliction that has to talk to an AS400. To do this we imported the IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries classes in the Winforms application and have IBM System I Access for Windows on our machines. It must have the System I Access or it will not talk to the AS/400. Everything works fine on my 64bit development machine. It also works fine on the client's 64bit machine. However when we attempt to install it on a 32bit machine we get a Bad Image format exception. We tried making just an x86 installer instead of any cpu but that did not work (same bad image exception).
I'm using the following code to iterate through and find windows containing specific strings in their title bars. I have two projects containing this identical information, yet for some reason - it works when targeted to x64, but FindWindowLike returns 0 always on x86. I need this to run in x86.I am developing this on Windows 7 x64, but it needs to run on my machine as well as XPx32. What I can't fathom is why it compiles/runs on x64 but not x32 (considering I'm targetting user*32*.dll)
I had a vb6 applications which using following dll files 1. shell32.dll 2. user32.dll 3. comdlg32.dll 4. apigid32.dll. It is working fine on vista 32bit OS . Now i am trying to run my application on Vista 64bit OS.
Is it working fine on vista 64bit OS with out any changing in vb6 code?Is there any problem with this above mentioned dlls on Vista 64bit OS?
Something that is bugging me which My application is targeted for 32 bit machines but I'm not sure which .NET installation package to use with my deployment: 32, 64 or the package with both.I currently bundle the .NET 32 bit installation with my installer and that works fine. I don't have a 64 bit machine to test with, so my question is what version of the framework will my application need on a 64 bit machine?
I am moving to a Windows 7 64-bit development machine. Talk about causing problems. I've Googled, but can't seem to find much to help my specific needs. I'm hitting maximum errors in my IDE error list, so I won't start listing them. I've tried targetting both x86 and x64, but I still get errors out the wazzu. Is there a good starting point for me to learn how to do this? or should I just start going through the errors and trying to correct them one by one?
Ok server is Windows Server 2008 R2. I've already installed other 32 bit applications. I had my own application compiled as ANY CPU, I just copied the folder containing my executable and DLL files to the server. Doing it this way is fine on Windows 2003 Server and other 32 bit operating systems. I registered the DLL files by using regsvr32. When I ran the file, it would come up with an invalid exception error. I compiled it as x86 and tried it again and it crashed immediately without any errors.
So I have VS 2005, application compiled as x86 - what do I do to get it running in Windows Server 2008 R2?Also as a side line, I didn't know that the server was 64bit to start with so I installed 32bit MySQL - should I remove and install 64bit?
I have compiled my app (Just standard windows controld, no third party) on my 64bit system to run on a 32Bit XP system. In have tried all the different settings (x86, x32, All) The error i get is: MyApp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. This is my first post here, I hope i havent managed to break any rules
I have some programs written in VB2010 using functions from a DLL. I have compiled and run these programs on a 32bit XP computer and a 32bit Win7 computer and have had no problems accessing the DLL.I have published an installation of these programs and tried running the install on a 64bit Win7 machine and the installation is performed correctly. It installs the programs and copies the required DLL into the same folder. the problem is that whenever I run the software and try to access the DLL I get errors.
The error says something like:
An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT:0x8007000B)
If I click past it the software runs and all of the forms are loaded properly, but anytime in the software if I try to access the DLL I get the same error.I am declaring functions in the DLL like this:
Public Declare Function OpenDriver Lib "OP815M.DLL" (ByVal handle_Renamed As Integer) As Integer
I have also tried placing the DLL in the system32 directory and also the sysWOW64 directory and that did not help as well.I do recall that hardware drivers need to be properly signed and pass the Microsoft Logo testing. Must I get the DLLs I am using properly signed?
Edit: Also it might be fair to mention that I have used the DLL with another program written in C, which would run in the DOS command line in Windows and it correctly accesses the DLL on a 64bit machine, but just when run from the DOS command line in windows.
I developed a Visual Basic program in VS2005 that uses SQL2005 on a 32bit system, which runs perfectly on 32bit systems using Click Once deployment, but whenever I try to load or run same program on any 64bit system, it does not load or run. What do I need to do to make the program run on 64bit systems.
I am trying to execute DiskShadow on Server 2008 R2 via Process.Start
[code]...
Now, what's happening is that the Diskshadow script fails with a "com call "(*vssobject)->initializeforbackup" failed." If I then open a command prompt/powershell prompt as administrator and execute "Diskshadow -s diskshadow.txt" manually it works just fine.
If, however, I try c:windowssyswow64Diskshadow -s diskshadow.txt I get the exact same error as when I try to run it via Process.StartSo, there seems to be some 32bit weirdness going on here when I try to run Diskshadow via Process.Start (Even though I am forcing it to use the copy in C:windowssystem32
i've finally finished my A2 project by building a program for a real life solution. This program works on the school computers which are 32bit XP but when i try to run it on a Windows 7 64bit system, i can't get it to work after trying various things.
error:The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
i have my app code which programed on 32 bit now when i copy it to 64 bit and try to open the project i get this error Quote:Type library importer encountered a property getter 'sessionPlaylistCount' on type 'WMPLib.IWMPNowPlayingHelperDispatch' without a valid return type. The importer will attempt to import this property as a method instead.TlbImp
Basically i want to run a program that is created in vb2008 with its compiler properties set to AnyCPUThe programmer has a 32bit os, so he has not recognized that his referenced assemblies are not compatible with 64bit OS and therefore throw system.badimageformatexception on 64bit OS (such as mine; im running windows 7)
now it is my understanding that all 32bit applications can be run on 64bit windows because the WOW64 emulator can run them (just like programs that get installed in the program files x86 directory)so the problem here is that my OS cant recognize that this program must be run in 32bit since that programmer foolishly set the compile options to anycpu i can not contact the programmer and therefore asking him to recompile is not a possible solution.So, how do i run this program as 32 bit on my 64bit OS? how can i manually set 32-bit compatibility? it is not available in compatibility options.I tried running in compatibility mode for windows xp sp2 i tried putting the software in program files x86 folder.
I am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.
I have an application that I've tested on multiple machines. It runs perfectly on the development machine, but no others. I have itextsharp.dll included and registered in the installer (I used NSIS). On one of the other machines, this was retrieved from the system log:
I created a new cursor (it works properly, I tried it in windows 7) but is not working for me in the program.I took the Windows cursor (aero_helpsel_xl, from C:WindowsCursors) and it appears to me the same error.i use with this code:
Me.Cursor = New Cursor("Patch..")
The problem say:: "{"Image format is not valid. Image file may be corrupted.
Parameter name: stream "}"
edit: I realized what the problem ... It can read only cur files with 24-bit color and lower - but it shows only two colors: black and white.
I have a routine that exports data to HTML and works 99% of the time but now and again I get an error of Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list on this specific line of the code
Now sRetMessage is declared and passed as a string and contains approx 5 lines of text with <br /> for each VBNewLine.
What I did notice is on one of the errors I have caught, the last 3 characters on every line are =20 sRetMessage is extracted from a text file and so the contents are out of my control.
why i'm getting this error? If it is the =20 within the string, why should this matter as it has been stored and passed as a string value
How do you convert a System.Drawing.Bitmap image to any other type of image? I tried CType, which failed, since I do not know the type for .png or .jpg. I cannot find it anywhere on google either.What is the most efficient method to do this, which keeps the quality of the image as high as possible?
I am trying to get a textbox to have a time value of mm:ss. I am trying to make sure that what the user has entered is in the correct format. i.e. If a user enters in 0923 the exception would be thrown. But if 09:23 is entered it would pass through. Below is the code I currently have. I have tried 3 different things and none work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Try 'If txtRun.Text <> Format(txtRun.Text, "{0,mm:ss}") Then 'If txtRun.Text <> Format("{0:mm:ss}", txtRun.Text) Then If txtRun.Text <> Format(txtRun.Text, "{0:mm:ss}") Then Throw New BadTimeException("Please Enter a Correct Time") End If
Catch BadTimeExceptionParameter As BadTimeException MessageBox.Show(BadTimeExceptionParameter.Message, "Invalid Time", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) Exit Sub End Try
My code is not working it highlights this intHoursWorked = Convert.ToInt32(strHoursWorked) when i run the program and says 'format exception was unhandled' ? Someone said to just initialize the value of lblleftoverminttl ,txtttlminworked, intHourlyPayRate but im not sure what that means?
Here is the rest of my code:
Public Class Form1 ' Weekly pay for an hourly employee

I had a working program a while ago, but now it is giving me an error when I try to insert some data to my Excel-file.I get this error: Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD)) For example, one of my Excel referencing codes is:
Dim XL_App As New Excel.Application Dim XL_WB As Excel.Workbook = XL_App.Workbooks.Open("C:Program FilesIAAExcelitTuntilappu.xls", , True) Dim XL_WS1 As Excel.Worksheet = XL_WB.Worksheets(1)
The above code used to work, but now it gives me the error...I recently updated my Office from 2003 to 2010. How can I fix it?
How can we convert any image to any other format e.g BMP to Jpg or emf.I am able to convert only bmp to some of these format by using this code which i found.
I need to create an application that converts an image to an icon. This is for a school project, and I know there are libraries in VB that do image conversion, however I have to make the conversion process myself. My first task is to convert an JPEG into an icon. I made the GUI, and have the program open up the files and scale them down into my pictureBox. What I need, are some suggestions for the conversion, since I can't use what VB has. what do I need to start with ?
