    Bad DLL format.

    I recall seeing this on Windows 7 64-bit.

    If you're not actually using the PLI interface, then edit setup_sim.tcl (or whatever your Modelsim script is) to remove bytestream_pli.dll from the vsim command line.

    If you do need PLI, then you'll need to find the equivalent 64-bit DLL (perhaps it has 64 in its name).

    Cheers,
