Win32 Exception by invoke CreateFile with the ESD file

[konan54]

Hi,
I am trying to use Microsoft.dism to apply an ESD format image.
A win32 exception was raised while calling the CreateFile method to deal with the ESD image: "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."

Issue isolation:
Use the same version of the dism.exe command from the system32 can apply the ESD image successfully.
"dism /apply-image /imagefile:*.esd /index:1 /applydir:c:"

This is usually caused by a mismatch in processor architecture. Managed .NET Framework applications can target "AnyCPU" which will pick the correct architecture at runtime. However, the DISMAPI assemblies are native C++ applications that target x86 or x64 and can cause issues if your process is the wrong architecture.

Try one of the following:

• Change <Platform> in your project to x64 instead of AnyCPU
• Set <Prefer32Bit> to true or false
