x is not a valid Win32 Application

I'd like to understand why Win XP reports something is not a valid Win32 application.

Relevance to W10 - the application is built on W10 using VS2017. I thought I had taken appropriate care to not use APIs that aren't available in Win XP. But when it's installed on Win XP SP3 windows gives me a nastygram saying it's not a valid Win32 application.

So what steps should I follow to determine why this is happening?

I came here 'cos I believe that there are people here who know this stuff.

Thanks

HELP! windowsphone.exe not a valid win32 application

Hi Vasile

I use the tool that you give to me..it completely uninstalled the app..but when i try to install again the updated windowsPhone app for desktop the same error occurs it says that the .exe file is not a valid win32 application

I also follow the steps in our second option..I think it is not applicable in this case because i cant even install the updated version of the app

Best Regards,
