Problem with PIX

I'm hoping to start using PIX to profile a project i'm working on, but I'm getting an error.
I have entered the path of my application in the program path, and click start experiment.
I get an error stating the application failed to initialize properly 0xc000007b. Googling around I have found this relates to STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT, but I don't know what would be causing that
Can anyone tell me what could be causing this
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    A few details:
    I can profile the directx samples with PIX without problem, and i can run my application outside of PIX. Its a c++ application compiled with borland bcc compiler.
    The error occurs with both the debug and runtime d3d9 dlls.
