Windows应用程序依赖于许多操作来执行。同时，要执行程序，还需要满足各种参数。运行它们时可能出现的错误是 –应用程序无法正确启动 (0xc00007b) (The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00007b))。发生此错误的原因有很多，但主要原因可能是 x86 应用程序与基于 x64 的操作系统不兼容。
0x000007b错误通常表示(0x000007b)来自架构不兼容的软件的冲突。例如，尝试在 64 位系统上使用 32 位软件。但是，您可以在 64 位计算机上运行 32 位程序。
如果您在尝试启动程序或游戏时看到一个对话框，说明应用程序无法正确启动(The application was unable to start correctly)，错误代码0xC000007B，状态无效图像格式(STATUS INVALID IMAGE FORMAT)，这意味着该应用程序与您的 Windows 11/10 的体系结构不兼容PC 或缺少依赖项。当您使用过时的 .NET Framework、Direct X、驱动程序(Driver)或系统文件损坏时，也会出现此错误。当您的硬盘驱动器出现问题时，它也可能会出现。
虽然 0xC000007B 出现在许多其他程序中，但STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT意味着当您尝试运行设计为在 32 位系统上运行的 64 位应用程序时。系统无法加载适用于 64 位的DLL，因此进入终止状态。除此之外，如果您还被指向一个文件NTStatus.h，这意味着这可能是一个文件损坏案例。
应用程序无法正确启动 (0xc000007b)
了解导致 0x000007b 错误的原因后，您就可以更好地解决问题。以下是我们将在本节中探讨的修复：
STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT
0xC000007B, STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT, {Bad Image} %hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
您应该做的第一件事是单击“确定”关闭应用程序。其次(Second)，尝试再次安装媒体，看看它是否适用于这次。如果没有，请尝试以下方法：

首先，您必须卸载已有的内容。
在开始(Start)菜单中搜索 添加或删除程序(Add or remove programs)并选择它。单击(Click)此列表中的所有 Visual C++版本并卸载它们。
卸载各种 VC++ 软件后，打开链接的网页，向下滚动到Summary后的第一部分。这应该是最新版本。
在这里，如果您的计算机是 64 位，请单击x86(x86)和 x64 旁边的链接，因为您必须同时下载 64 位和 32 位版本。32 位架构的系统只需要下载(Systems)x86。
5]替换损坏的DLL
有时，损坏的DLL文件有缺陷也会导致应用程序在执行时出现问题。您需要修复这些丢失或损坏的DLL文件。
- mfc100.dll
- mfc100u.dll
- msvcr100.dll
- msvcp100.dll
- msvcr100_clr04000.dll
最好的方法是运行 System File Checker 或 DISM。
6]使用管理员权限(Admin Privileges)重新安装应用程序(Reinstall Application)
重新启动Windows PC，然后以管理员(Admin)权限安装应用程序。您可以右键单击它，然后选择Run as Administrator。如果您的帐户是普通帐户，请务必让管理员在提示时输入他的密码来帮助您安装它。
7]安装和更新依赖项
很多时候程序和应用程序需要安装驱动程序和支持软件才能正常工作。虽然通常的安装会处理它，但是由于我们面临异常终止的问题，是时候进行一些手动检查了。
a] 安装合格的驱动程序
一些高端应用程序和游戏需要有正确有效的驱动程序才能工作。它们不适用于通用驱动程序。Microsoft有此Windows 硬件质量实验室测试(Windows Hardware Quality Labs testing)或WHQL 测试。(WHQL Testing.) 这可确保驾驶员满足正确的体验，并在认证前通过适当的测试。因此，当您安装驱动程序时，请确保它们是该Windows的合格驱动程序。
b]更新(Update)或下载(Download)并安装DirectX

其他类似的应用程序无法正确启动(The application was unable to start correctly)错误：(Other similar The application was unable to start correctly errors:)
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
Windows applicationѕ depend on a number of operations to get executed. And at the same time, there аre variouѕ parameters that need to be fulfilled for a program to get executed. An error that cаn appear when running them is – The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00007b). There are many reasons for this error to occur, but the main reason could be an x86 application not being compatible with the x64 based operating system.
The 0x000007b error usually indicates a conflict from the software with incompatible architecture. For example, attempting to use 32-bit software on a 64-bit system. You can, however, run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit computer.
If you see a dialog box stating that The application was unable to start correctly, Error Code 0xC000007B, STATUS INVALID IMAGE FORMAT, when trying to launch a program or game, this means the application is not compatible with the architecture of your Windows 11/10 PC or is missing dependencies. This error could also show up when you use an outdated .NET Framework, Direct X, a Driver, or corruption in your system files. It may also appear when there’s an issue with your hard drive.
While 0xC000007B occurs with many other programs, STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT means that when you try to run an application designed to run on 64-bit operating on a 32-bit system. The system fails to load the DLL which is meant for 64-bit and hence gets into a termination state. Apart from this, if you also get pointed to a file NTStatus.h, it means that this can be a file corruption case.
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
Having an idea of what causes the 0x000007b error, you’re much better equipped to resolve the issue. Here are the fixes that we’ll explore in this section:
STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT
0xC000007B, STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT, {Bad Image} %hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
The first thing you should do is click on OK to close the application. Second, try installing the media again to see if it works for this time. If not then try the following methods below:
- Launch the app in compatibility mode.
- Enable the .NET Framework.
- Update DirectX.
- Reinstall Visual C++.
- Replace the corrupted DLLs
- Reinstall Application with Admin Privileges
- Install & Update Dependencies
- Use the CHKDSK utility.
Next, we’ll get to the details of the above fixes as well as the necessary steps to carry them out successfully.
1] Launch the app in compatibility mode
The compatibility mode is useful for running programs that aren’t compatible with your system. If you suspect that an application’s compatibility is the cause of the error, right-click on the shortcut and go to Properties.
Switch over to the Compatibility tab of the Properties window and if you know an earlier Windows version that handled the program correctly, check the Run this program in compatibility mode for option.
Alternatively, click on Run compatibility troubleshooter. Next, select the stable Windows edition from the Compatibility mode dropdown, and hit the OK button.
2] Enable the .NET Framework
The most common cause of the 0x000007b error code in Windows 11/10 is that the system disables the .NET Framework by default. You must get this enabled to use Origin.
To enable the .NET Framework on your computer, press the Windows key and search for Control Panel. Launch Control Panel.
Change Control Panel to the Category view from the link in the top right-hand corner and then click on Uninstall a program Under programs. Here, select the Turn Windows features on or off link in the left-hand pane.

Search for Add or remove programs in the Start menu and select it. Click on all the Visual C++ versions on this list and uninstall them.
After uninstalling various VC++ software, open the linked web page and scroll down to the first section after Summary. This should be the latest version.
Here, click on the links beside x86 and x64 if your computer is 64-bit because you have to download both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions. Systems on the 32-bit architecture need to download only x86.
5] Replace the corrupted DLLs
Sometimes, corrupted DLL files being faulty can also cause issues in applications while they are executed. You need to fix these missing or corrupted DLL files.
- mfc100.dll
- mfc100u.dll
- msvcr100.dll
- msvcp100.dll
- msvcr100_clr04000.dll
The best way to do this would be to run System File Checker or DISM.
6] Reinstall Application with Admin Privileges
Restart your Windows PC, and then install the application with Admin privileges. You can right-click on it, and then select Run as Administrator. If your account is a regular account, then make sure to ask an admin to help you install it by entering his password when prompted.
7] Install & Update Dependencies
Many a time programs and applications need to have drivers, and supporting software installed to work properly. While the usual installation takes care of it, but since we are facing this problem of abnormal termination, it’s time to do some manual checks.
a] Install qualified drivers
Some high-end applications and games need to have correct and valid drivers to work. They will not work with generic drivers. Microsoft has this Windows Hardware Quality Labs testing or WHQL Testing. This makes sure that drivers meet the correct experience, and pass through proper testing before certification. So when you are installing drivers, make sure they are qualified drivers for that Windows.
b] Update or Download and install DirectX
Microsoft DirectX is a suite of technologies developed by Microsoft to provide hardware acceleration for heavy multimedia applications such as 3D games and HD videos. While Windows 10 has Directx 12, the earlier version used DirectX 11. Make sure to follow the instructions to update or install DirectX on your Windows 10 PC.
c] Install the Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime
The Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime provides updates to version 9.0c and previous versions of DirectX. Follow this link to download, and install it right away.
d] Install or update the .NET framework
This framework is used by applications, and games during development. This means without the runtime files installed on your Windows 10 PC, it will not work. Installing or Update .NET Framework is easy. You can also verify it using the .NET setup verification tool.
8] Use the CHKDSK utility
The CHKDSK utility is handy for finding and fixing hard drive issues. It’s a command-line tool that you can use without additional software or hardware. Search for cmd in the Start menu and right-click on Command Prompt. Select the Run as administrator option.
Input the below command in the Command Prompt window and press the ENTER key.
chkdsk /f /r
Command Prompt may now ask you if you want to scan your system on your next restart. Hit the Y key to accept this and press ENTER. Your computer will now restart and begin to scan and repair problems on your hard drive.
