Basically, you are trying to use some executable module (PE file) assuming this is a valid .NET assembly, but it is not.

I have no idea why and how you are trying to do that, but this answer should give you the idea. Assembly manifest is a section of a PE file with the content identifying that the module as a main executable module of some .NET assembly and providing access to its metadata. .NET runtime starts with identifying the module as such a .NET module, and, in case it is not, this exception is thrown.
