32-bit or 64-bit Win-7?

Did you get the error: ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT?

WOW64 is the x86 emulator that allows 32-bit Windows-based applications to run seamlessly on 64-bit Windows. Did you install your Win-7?

Here is the issue that could come up in Win-7 64-bit...
32-bit processes cannot load 64-bit DLLs for execution, and 64-bit processes cannot load 32-bit DLLs for execution. So if you have a DLL that is 32-bit and not a sub in WOW64 you can have it fail.
