This is the %windir%\WinSxS directory and is supposed to be Microsoft's
"solution" to "DLL hell".  Sounds like you might have the wrong version
of some 32-bit DLL.

This would be the Windows Event Log (eventvwr.msc).  Can you dig into
the event log error and give us that information?

I'd also be interested in the output of the the Dependency Walker when
run against nmap.exe  You can grab a copy here:

Of particular interest are missing DLLs but unbound and unresolved
imports are also useful.
