Error 193 is ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT. ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT happens when you try to load a DLL with a different CPU type into a process. You have a 32 bit DLL. You are trying to use it in a 64 bit process. MS does not allow this to work. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384249%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Contact whoever created that DLL (jtagvsdll) for a 64 bit version of the DLL. The other more difficult choice is RPC between a 32 bit Perl and a 64 bit Perl process.
