Nice to know, marked as unclear :)

The BadImageFormatException suggests that you're either running 32-bit PowerShell and trying to access a 64-bit COM component, or you're running 64-bit PS and accessing a 32-bit COM component.

However, if you're absolutely certain that this is a 32-bit OS, and you haven't been copying files from a 64-bit OS, I don't see how that's possible.
