Strange dll link dependency which cause "Error 0xc000007b"

Question

I'm developing a win32 app, and meet the problem of Error 0xc000007b when run Debug to bootstrap app. I've searched infomation about the error, and I found it maybe a x64 or x86 mismatch problem.

But in my project, there is no external dlls that need copy manually (which is the most common case for this error)，When I dive into details, I found strange deps stack for my exe.

The outlined blue file is genereted by project and is amd64 in DependenciesGUI ，When just look at the blue dll file (right part of the screenshot), it seems ok. But when I check the exe file (outlined red in left part of screenshot) which links the blue dll, the dll changes to depends on file C:\WINDOWS\WinSxs\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.19041.3636_none_a863d714867441db\comctl32.dll and it is marked as i386.

I don't known which step is wrong? The whole project is generated with cmake to vs2022 C++17 like cmake -B ../build/ -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 and is all for x64. The exe is linked to lib by target_link_libraries(${EXE_NAME} PRIVATE ${VIEWER_NAME}), dll is linked like target_link_libraries(${VIEWER_NAME} PRIVATE User32 Shell32 ComCtl32 ComDlg32 Gdi32 Msimg32 WinMM AdvAPI32 Ole32 ShLwApi Vfw32 WinInet).

Thanks to the comment by @Simon Mourier, I finally find the problem is that processorArchitecture in application manifests is configured as x86 which should better be *. After I modified it correctly, the error got fixed.
