I am caught. &nbsp;I started using VS2015 under Win10 to write my software. &nbsp; The software must be compatible with win32. &nbsp;I can not get VS2015 to compile 32 bit and the file are not downward compatible with VS2010 or VS2013. &nbsp;I need a 32 bit version to run on XP. &nbsp;I know.... it's gone but my clients have not and need to be able to support them. <br />
<br />
How do I get a 32bit compile? &nbsp;I went into Compile:<br />
<br />
Configuration: &nbsp;Active (x86)<br />
Active: Active (Any CPU) &nbsp; &lt;-- no other option<br />
Explicit: &nbsp;on<br />
Strict: &nbsp;off<br />
Compare: binary<br />
Infer: on<br />
<br />
I have tried:<br />
<br />
Target CPU: &nbsp;Any CPU<br />
Checked prefer 32 bit<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
Target CPU: &nbsp;x86<br />
<br />
Neither of the two work. &nbsp;EXE if fine on 64bit machines, but not on XP machines. &nbsp;Says not win32 compatible.<br />
<br />
Help?<br />

I am caught.  I started using VS2015 under Win10 to write my software.   The software must be compatible with win32.  I can not get VS2015 to compile 32 bit and the file are not downward compatible with VS2010 or VS2013.  I need a 32 bit version to run on XP.  I know.... it's gone but my clients have not and need to be able to support them. 

How do I get a 32bit compile?  I went into Compile:

Configuration:  Active (x86)
Active: Active (Any CPU)   <-- no other option
Explicit:  on
Strict:  off
Compare: binary
Infer: on

I have tried:

Target CPU:  Any CPU
Checked prefer 32 bit

and

Target CPU:  x86

Neither of the two work.  EXE if fine on 64bit machines, but not on XP machines.  Says not win32 compatible.

Help?
