I'm trying to run this code to connect to a numerical picoscope, and then run a bigger code :

import os
import platform
import ctypes

dll_dir = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Pico Technology\PicoScope6"
dll_name = "PS2000a.dll"

os.add_dll_directory(dll_dir)

dll_path = os.path.join(dll_dir, dll_name)

lib = ctypes.WinDLL(dll_path)
print("Loaded")

But I get this error :

%runfile '//katmandou/Share/530-Composants_Optiques_Multimédias/530.5-capteurs_optiques/530.5.2-caracterisation/Carac_QCLs_WaferLevel/programs/python_libraries/lco_laser_characterization/test_lib_import.py' --wdir

    380 else:
    381     self._handle = handle

OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

I'm running this code on a 64 bits computer, the picoscope software is also a 64 bits one. So I don't understand.

I tried to run this code in a virtual environnment. This virtual environment was identical to the one used in an other computer where this code runs without any problem. But I still have this issue.

What's the problem ? What can I do to solve this issue ?
