Searching around, a lot of resources say this is due to mixing 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows and applications, such as this one:

Typically you'll see this error when there's a mixing of 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows and applications.

On the Server Fault SE Site, I found a post about this error and they said the 32-bit version worked for them.

I've tried to reinstall it many times with no success. However, the 32bit version installs, runs and works normally.

Finally, a Stackoverflow post said the following:

To start, I would suggest to test whether there is a problem between your application and its dependencies using dependency walker

The comments on that post later go on to say that the error code boils down to the message "STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT" (which was also mentioned on the Server Fault post) to which someone replied saying:

Which is a good indication that the 32-bit app tried to load a 64-bit DLL.

So it seems like one solution is to replace any 64-bit DLLs the application tries loading with 32-bit versions. Using that Dependency Walker tool could aid you in figuring that out.
