Ok, I renamed Program Files (x86)\GtkSharp so that it effectively 
deleted it,

Same issue though:

unloaded.

Renaming Program Files (x86)\Gtk-Runtime

Gives

C:\Windows\System32\dwmapi.dll unloaded.
C:\Windows\System32\setupapi.dll unloaded.
C:\Program Files\Gtk-Runtime\bin\libcairo-gobject-2.dll unloaded.
C:\Program Files\Gtk-Runtime\bin\libcairo-2.dll unloaded.

C:\Program Files\Gtk-Runtime\bin\libgdk-3-0x64.dll unloaded.

The thread 0x4f0 has exited with code 1 (0x1).
The program '[3936] test.exe' has exited with code 1 (0x1).

And x86 test.exe gives the error:

"The image File C:\Program 
Files\Gtk-Runtime\bin\libatk-1.0-0.dll" is valid but is for a 
machine type other than the current machine. Select Ok to 
Continue or Cancel to fail the DLL load".

which was the original error I got.

At this point x64 gives the error:

object.Exception at generated\gtkd\gtkd\Loader.d(125): Library load 
failed (libgdk-3-0x64.dll): The specified module could not be 
found.

which has the code:

//TODO: A more general way to try more than one version.
if ( handle is null && library == importLibs[LIBRARY.GSV] )
    handle = pLoadLibrary(importLibs[LIBRARY.GSV1]);

Which, if I'm not mistaken, suggests that maybe it is time to add 
this "more general way" ;)

Now, why it is trying to load libgdk-3-0x64.dll, which is clearly 
one of the modified files, but a dll of gdk, is unclear.

I have no file with gdk in it in any of the proper directories.

tried installing

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk3win/files/latest/download

but no luck. Says it's for x86 and x64 but I have my doubts.

So what is going on here?
