How to fix the application crash at startup when using 64-bit bass.dll in 64-bit Delphi project?

I can't run my 64-bit Delphi application with the 64-bit version of bass.dll. I'm using Delphi XE3 to build my application.

Application crashed to start with 0xc000007b. Debugger Messages:

BASS for Win64 (x64)

How can I get it to work ? Does anyone experienced the same problem ?

Solution

The error code 0xc000007b is STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT. The most common cause for that is when the loader attempts to load a 32 bit DLL into your 64 bit process. Use Dependency Walker in profile mode to find out which DLL is at fault.
