x32 and x64

[jen140]

Hello all.
As always i have another problem with my Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition.
I am running it on windows vista ultimate x64 edition.
And i couldnt get my apps made here to work under any other xp machine (x32).
I have created an empty c++ project ( Framework 3.5).
After i have added main.c and made a hello world prog.
In the Configuration Manager i can see the next platforms :
Win32
Pocket PC 2003(ARMV4)
Smartphone 2003(ARMV4)
Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK (ARMV4I)
Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK (ARMV4I)
x64
I tryied to compile in both x64 and win32 and run it .
Both of them runned under x64 windows, but neither under x86.
How can i add x86 platform support ?
Thanks in advance.

Are you running Visual Studio 2008 64-bit version? If so, does it actually build 32-bit versions, or only 64-bit! (As 64-bit code will not run on Win32!)

[jen140]

I'm using Visual Studio 32 bit version .
Some time ago it built x84 code and had an option for it ,but not now.
And when i build win32 app it doesnt work under x32 version of windows.
I'm currently reinstalling the visual studio, hope it helps.

Sounds like time for a re-install. 32-bit Visual Studio should be building 32-bit applications.

Does it run in the debugger but not when just running the exe?

[jen140]

Nop, it says it cant execute it .
The error is diferent from the "x64 error" because when i try to build x64 and run on x86 machine ,it says that the app is not a valid 32 bit application.
On the other machine i currently have visual studio 2005. But the debugger is not launched when error occurs.

Multi-threaded application?
Project - Properties
Configuration Properties
Code Generation
DEBUG Configuration
Make sure it is Multi-threaded Debug /MTd NOT
Multi-threaded DEBUG DLL /MDd
Same for release.

Check to see if multi-threaded option is set in configuration. If so, change from DEBUG Multi

Even after reinstall i have the same problem .
And i dont have "Code generation" submenu in Configuration Properties. The ideia is not to be multithreaded app.
Is there a way you can send me the x86 "solution platform" ?

[wildgoose]

Doesn't work that way.
Find your application configuration. Find the multi-threaded single-threaded and make sure it is what you expected!

[jen140]

Cant really find that information anywhere... =(

[wildgoose]

I just ran vc8 which I have but don't use.
Menu: Project
SubMenu: Properties (last sub-menu item)
C/C++
Code Generation
Click on it

Runtime Library
Click on 2nd column then look at options.

Do for Debug configuration and Release configuration.

[jen140]

Ok ,changed the required option (for that i've created a new console aplication, because i couldnt find the option "code generation" with an empty project) but the problem is still the same ,works on x64 and not on x86 (win32 configuration).

[jen140]

So how can i put the VS to compile to x86 ?

[jen140]

Couldnt edit the post. So posting agai.
I've found a project that has x86 as a solution platform, is there a way to export it to other projects ?

[jen140]

I still have the same problem, but it can be suspassed when chosing the "Release" at the configuartion manager, dont know why does the debug doesnt want to work but whatever...
