WPF application fails to start due to strange dll error

UPDATE: The error described below happens also with an empty Windows Forms Application.

I have a simple WPF application in C# that works with Bing maps API.

The application does nothing except from showing a Bing map that was integrated through xaml code:

<m:Map CredentialsProvider="my api key that I removed here" 
       x:Name="myMap"
       Center="47.620574,-122.34942" ZoomLevel="12" Height="Auto" 
       "/>

I don't reference any particular third-party libraries except the Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF.

When I run the application it exits without giving any particular error message. By checking error logs with eventvwr I discovered that it has problems with some dll file stored in my AppData\Local\Admworks folder. The file is probably generated dynamically as it has a different name each time I restart the computer. The first time it was jgmrysmv.dll, the second gfphosrs.dll and so on. If I rename the Admworks folder the application works. However, when I restart the computer the problem returns. The Admworks folder is still there and the name of the dll file is different.

This is the error reported in event viewer:

Faulting application name: WpfApplication2.vshost.exe, version: 12.0.30723.0, time stamp: 0x53cf4fe5

I tried putting the breakpoint at InitializeComponent() in

public MainWindow()
{
  InitializeComponent();
}

but the application stops before reaching that point.

Not solved yet? Tried compiling to 32 bit instead of 64 yet? Frequent cause for dll problems.
