I have a question, I have made a small x86 program, but it works fine in Win 7 win 8 win 10 but in Win XP, I get the message "No valid win32 application" and so do not start. How do I get this in Windows XP Pro SP3?

Check here:

 

https://docs.microso...em-requirements

 

highest supported version on windows XP: .NET Framework 4

 

Now check your the config of your application: sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2

 

So when you want to make it run on XP you should remake it to work with net framework 4, not 4.5.2

Beware tat Windows XP isn't safe anymore.. I would suggest never to put such a machine to the network anymore. 

 

Have you tried compatibility settings also within Windows 7/8/8.1/10? Maybe you can fix it with adjusting these settings (See properties of the file, and then somewhere compatibility mode.

With Windows 10: use properties, Select tab Compatibility, select Windows XP-SP3 and then run the program.. then it works fine. 

 

If I didn't do that, I got an error during the download of something..

Which Windows is? ;)

 

But there are still Windows XP security updates, you only need to know how to get them (tip: hack your XP to make Windows think it is a POS edition).
