The error message "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format" appears if 32-bits DLL is loaded in 64-bit application.
FlexiCapture Engine 12, FineReader Engine 11 and 12
Please make sure that you have loaded the correct FREngine.dll or FCEngine.dll version. The version for use in 64-bits system is in your ABBYY product installation folder, subfolder "Bin64". The files from "Bin" folder can be used in 32-bits applications only.
FlexiCapture Engine 11
FlexiCapture Engine 11 works on 64-bit systems in emulation mode (as a 32-bit application).
According to System Requirements (see the Help file → Specifications → System Requirements) there is support of the following 64-bit OS:
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows 10
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 8
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2008 SP1-SP2
- Windows Vista SP1-SP2
However we would like to note that this product is 32-bit, we do not have native 64-bit support and that’s why the FCE library cannot be used in the 64-bit applications directly. The applications developed with the FCEngine are 32-bit and can be launched in emulation mode.

I installed FineReader Engine 12 trial & referencing FREngine.dll within Blue Prism (RPA) and seeing the below error(s).
Try1: ABBYY SDK - 32-bit - C:\Program Files\ABBYY SDK\12\FineReader Engine\Bin\FREngine.dll
Compiler error at top section line -6: Metadata file 'c:\Program Files\ABBYY SDK\12\FineReader Engine\Bin\FREngine.dll' could not be opened -- 'An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. '
Try2: Copied 32-bit FREngine.dll to C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\FREngine.dll
Compiler error at top section line -6: Metadata file 'c:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\FREngine.dll' could not be opened -- 'An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. '
The link "http://blogs.msdn.com/b/karthick/archive/2006/02/28/540780.aspx" no longer exists; do you have any alternate links?
Any ideas\suggestions?
