I am trying to create an application for a website and specify the target processor as x86 instead of Any CPU. The only choice I have in Configuration Manager in the drop-down list is “Active Solution Platform:”: “Any processor,” “Change ..”, and “Create ...".
In the "Project Contexts" section of the "Configuration Manager" window, it lists 3 columns: "Project", "Configuration" and "Platform". In the Platform column, my only choice is .Net. when Active Solution Configuration is set to Debug.
If the Active Solution Configuration is set to Release, then I can select .Net or Any Processor in the Platform column.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. This site was previously built using Visual Studio.NET and was recently updated using the Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition Update Wizard.
I need to configure x86 precisely because the components used in the project are only compatible with x86.
