Solution 1:
It seems that you are using the 64-bit version of the tool to install a 32-bit/x86 architecture application. Look for the 32-bit version of the tool here:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
and it should install your 32-bit application just fine.
Solution 2:
Try to configure the setting of your projects, it is usually due to x86/x64 architecture problems:

I found a different solution to this issue. Apparently my IIS 7 did not have 32bit mode enabled in my Application Pool by default.
To enable 32bit mode, open IIS and select your Application Pool. Mine was named "ASP.NET v4.0".
Right click, go to "Advanced Settings" and change the section named:
"Enabled 32-bit Applications" to true.
Restart your web server and try again.
I found the fix from this blog reference: http://darrell.mozingo.net/2009/01/17/running-iis-7-in-32-bit-mode/
Additionally, you can change the settings on Visual Studio. In my case, I went to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Web Projects and checked Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for web sites and projects - This was on VS Pro 2015. Nothing else fixed it but this.
