Tell me how to build an application in MS Visual Studio 2010 so that it runs on Windows XP SP1? I rebuilt my old application and after that it stopped working on the first service pack, it starts normally on XP SP3.

Answer 1

First, set the necessary Platform Toolset in the project properties:
Right-click on the project name in the Solution Explorer -> Properties -> General -> Platform Toolset window - select something like "Visual Studio 2010 - Windows XP (v110_xp)" in the drop-down list.
Next, the project should be rebuilt. Those. first in the menu Build -> Clean solution , and then in the menu Build -> Build solution .
After that, the application is built for WinXP OS. But additional libs may be required, such as used Frameworks, distributions of which can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=39257 and also an additional distribution kit www.microsoft.com/ru-ru /download/details.aspx?id=5555, which in turn will need to be installed on a machine with WinXP and then the application will start successfully
