Winterop.dll is a 32-bit so your calling assemblies need to stay 32-bit not get JIT'd to 64-bit.

This is very strange - I understand the library is 32 bit, but why should it fail with the exception mentioned? That's pretty obscure. (If it is clearer in > WiX 3.7, ok ...)

As per the list's recommendations, I added a reference to wix.dll and kept winterop.dll near by. The POC code looks like (fileName as a parameter from elsewhere) Dim b As New Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Unbinder Dim out As Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Output = b.Unbind(fileName, Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.OutputType.Bundle, "c:\scratch\") For a while, this worked; some directories of XML and such were created I was able to read from. Now something (not this part of the code, since I haven't touched it) has changed and I get : "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)" Stack trace: at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Cab.Interop.NativeMethods.ExtractCabBegin() at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Cab.WixExtractCab..ctor() at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.BurnReader.ExtractUXContainer(String outputDirectory, String tempDirectory) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Unbinder.UnbindBundle(String bundleFile, String exportBasePath) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Unbinder.Unbind(String file, OutputType outputType, String exportBasePath) at InstallerBuilder.PackageRepresentation..ctor(String fileName, String notesText, String whoBy) in C:\Users\dougkei\Downloads\DEV\ToolBox3\InstallerBuilder-branch\DeploymentManagement\Business Classes\PackageRepresentation.vb:line 169 C:\Users\dougkei\Downloads\DEV\ToolBox3\InstallerBuilder-branch\DeploymentManagement\Business Classes\PackageRepresentation.vb:line 169 This exception occurs with every bundle I've tried, including one that I just built to make sure it wasn't somehow wrong previously. Any idea what could be going wrong here? I have moved recently to Windows 7 x64, if that matters somehow.
