ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, downloading latest builds, doing factory reset and saving the default startup file.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

Open user preferences,
Click themes tab,
Choose different theme

Open user preferences,
Click addons tab,
Click check box next to Add Mesh: A.N.T.Landscape

Did you download the Experimental Build Branch by VS 2015 build?
From the section marked as 2) here:

If so, please chose a build from the 1st section marked with the Official tag to see if the error is present.
The VS2015 builds are still experimental as they can have some issues not present in the officially supported compiler.

Marked as incomplete until additional information is provided.

I tried all of the versions actually, the only one that seemed to work correctly was the 2.8 branch. All other versions had the same errors.

I can not reproduce the issue on Windows 7 laptop. Don't currently have access to Windows 10.

@LazyDodo, mind having a test here? Thanks!

I'm also still on 7, and can't seem to repro either, but since this seems limited to 2.78 and your system, i'm suspecting there's something wonky in your profile folder, can you try

Shut down blender.
rename C:\Users[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.78

to

C:\Users[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.78.bak

restart blender.

Wow thank you very much, that definitely worked! So adding the .bak is a way to completely reset Blender?
