Exe Is not Running at Windwows 32 bit OS - windows

I am making An Application on windows 7 using Visual Studio 2012,
before compile It I set A platform target to Any CPU.
It working fine with Windows and upper Versions.
but when i want to use this exe with Windows xp This is not working .
win 32 is not a valid application show error like this.
if i change it with Platform target to X86
then i am facing same problem?

IFilter not working on Microsoft Server 2012 R2 x64

I execute a program on Windows 10 x64 and works fine, but I execute the same program on Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 and get "Could not find a 32 bits IFilter dll for a file with an '.pptx' extension"
The program is a C# program that use IFilter to parse some files and get the text
I download all the Update for Microsoft Filter and still not working
The app was working in Platform target: "Any CPU" and Prefer 32-bit so the app search for the 32 bits dll.
Just uncheck the Prefer 32-bit and change the Platform target to "x64" for the project

System.IO.FileNotException and Could not load OBIDISC4NETnative.dll?

I am facing one new problem in loading Dll in Windows 8.1 WINBOOK tablet.
Problem description:
I have developed C#.NET app and its worked my Laptop (Windows 8.1) fine.

How to run a 32-bit vb.net program in a 64-bit Windows 7?

I have Visual Studio 2010 in a 32-bit Windows 7. I need to compile my created vb.net program (lets call it myprogram.exe) to be able to run in a 64-bit Windows 7 environment.
I have set my VS2010 project to "Any CPU" and even so myprogram.exe doesn't run on a 64-bit Windows 7. However, it does on a 32-bit Windows 7.
Could be possible it's because I'm using System.Data.OracleClient for database connection?
Error message in 64-bit Windows 7:
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher"
The 64-bit Windows 7 has Framework v2 installed. I attach some picture to show that.
Supposedly, WOW64 should run automatically but will not work on all applications.
In this case, should I install on my 64-bit Windows 7 some "Windows virtual PC"?
EDIT:
My VS2010 Premium is in a 32-bit Windows7 environment, and only see "Any CPU" option available. I don't see any other one else.
Should I install in the 64-bit Windows7 PC some "32-bit virtual Windows7 "? Which one would you recommend?
If you compile your program with the target platform set to AnyCPU then, when you run you executable on a 64bit OS the JIT compiler emits code for 64bit systems and, on 32bit OS, code for 32bit systems.
From your error it is clear that something between your references is a 32bit only library and thus cannot be called from 64bit code.
You could switch back to 32bit setting the x86 target platform in your Build Configuration or try to identify the library responsible and check if a 64bit version exists.
However, if you don't have specific reasons to use AnyCPU then you could still use x86 because in some cases the performances are better than 64bit code
You could read about the PROS and CONS of AnyCPU in this a little old, but still valuable, article
Try instead setting it from "Any CPU" to "x86" to force it to run on the 32-bit architecture. The problem might be that your program is relying on DLLs that aren't supported on the 64-bit architecture.

Virtual PC (Program Developed on XP Runs on W7 Problem)

I have a developed a C++ application using 32 bit and it create a executable file. This project has uses some external library like window socket 32bit, Qt GUI and boost library. The dll is located at same directory with the executable.
I wonder how can i run this application on window 7.
MY window 7 version is Home Premium 64 bit. Therefore, i cannot install the XP mode from Virtual PC but some one them reported that using Sun virtual box is functional.
I have try to troubleshoot the executable file using program compatibility but the problem doesn't solve.
Any program that can check external dependencies and identified the issues of running my program on window 7 ?
Please help.
Thanks.
64 bit editions of windows can run 32 bit applications fine. You just need to install the 32 bit versions of the needed libraries and it will work.

Can I still develop 32-bit applications using a 64-bit machine?

I'm wondering if I can still develop 32-bit apps using a 64-bit machine (64-bit Windows Vista with Visual Studio 2008 SP1)? Because I am planning to buy a laptop with 64-bit Vista. Im asking just to make sure. Thanks!
64-bit Windows runs 32-bit Visual Studio just fine. Unless you specify you wish you use the x64 development tools, it will still compile 32-bit applications.
Straight from the page:
Visual Studio uses the 32-bit cross
compiler even on a Windows 64-bit
computer. You can, however, use devenv
commands to create a command line
environment to call 64-bit hosted
tools.

With Visual Studio you are able to target what platform. By default it will run on "Any CPU" (read 32 or 64 bit), but you can specify if you desire. Look under Project>Properties>Build and look for the "Platform Target" property.
Yes. 64-bit vista will run 32-bit executables, so if you have a 32-bit compiler, it will still work.
Within visual studio you can tell it what to compile to under the Configuration Manager - (Build Menu - Configuration manager) - this allows you to target 32 or 64 bit.
64bit of consumer hardwares is usually "amd64" architecture which can run both 32bit apps and 64bit ones natively. Windows Vista 64bit edition supports both 32bit and 64bit system libraries, so basically you can run both type of applications as well. (Note that IA-64 architecture does not allow this.)
Compiling a program in 64bit is not much related to the platform that the compiler runs. But, of course, to run and test the result binary requires the corresponding architecture.
As many mentioned above, VS2008 let you choose the target architecture, so there's no problem.
I've found that just the setup.exe created by Visual Studio 2012 Express won't work on XP, but if you go ahead load MS 4.0 .NET Framework from the Microsoft Website then the *.application will load and install without using the setup.exe at all.
