This happens when you try to load a 32 bit dll in a 63 bit process or vice versa as munissor said. You can use PESnoop to determine whether an image is 32 or 64 bit.

Get it from http://www.prestosoft.com/download/plugins/PESnoop.zip

Are you developing your program on a 64 bit machine? If yes, just allow your application to accept 32 bit assembly as well.

If it is a web program hosted on IIS, you can allow 32 bit assembly from Application pool. If it is a console application you can change at assembly level.

It is very common error and practically will be fixed with above steps.

Hope it will help you to solve your problem.
