How do I compile XE 2016 exe for Windows XP so it is not invalid Win32

[Chris_H_3]

Hello.  Using VS2015 pro with parallel XE 2016 fortran, I compile a simple 'Hello World' console app with x86 config.  Copying the exe to an XP machine and running it on the command line gives 'Invalid Win32' application error.  I tried not building the manifest file and NOT suppressing the startup logo, but I still get the same result.  Any help with this would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

CHobbs

Choose Win32 configuration platform, not x86

Hello!  Thank you for the suggestion.  I was hoping for an aha moment, but when I looked in the configuration manager the 'x86' build had the Win32 platform checked.  That was the only build/platform choice I had.
