By default if you are building to "ANY CPU" then your EXE will execute in 64bit mode on a 64bit machine on .net .

You can disable this and run in 32bit mode by setting the "Platform target" to x86 CPU in the project settings.

Right click on your project->Properties->Build->Platform Target

Thanks! But before it's working, I must
first enable advanced build settings.

hello,

On Vs 2010 C# edition the anyCpu and x64 settings are hidden by default you need to enable them first.

Tool->Option then make sure the check box "show all settigns" is checked, then go to General and tick show advanced build configuration.

Then using the solution explorer you can right click on a project, select the project properties and access the platform settings in the Build tab.

Select AnyCpu, and if it does not exist you can add it.

Valery.
