Forum Post: Windows XP Error - *.exe is not a valid win32 application

Hi there, we are working with Visual Studio 2012 with Update 2 and Visual Cobol 2.1 (2.1.0.01044) on Windows 7. If we create and compile a native cobol program (exe) and run it on a Windows XP maschine, we get the error "*.exe is not a valid win32 application". Is there a knowing issue? Greetings Dennis
