Hello,
this error means that the operating system can't start the game because one of the libraries required to run the game is corrupted. We've a list of possible solutions listed on our Community Wiki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Unusual_process_exit#0xC000012F_-_STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_NOT_MZ

If any of those solutions doesn't help, then please download Microsoft Dependency Walker (x86 version) http://www.dependencywalker.com/depends22_x86.zip [^] and open Arma3.exe with it, then save the report from Dependency Walker into DWI file, compress it into a ZIP or RAR and upload it here. We'll identify the corrupted file for you.

I uploaded the zip file now

Hello,
it shows that two game files are corrupted. Did you let Steam to verify the integrity of game cache, because that is supposed to fix this problem.
If you did not, then please do it, if you did then delete these two files:
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 3\PHYSX3_X86.DLL
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 3\PHYSX3COMMON_X86.DLL
and verify the integrity of the game cache again.
