Is it possible to run native INT's on Windows XP?   I can run the INT on a Windows 7 box with no issues, but when I try to run the same INT on XP I get an error:   run.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Thanks!

This would happen if you are using the Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2012 product to develop your applications as Windows XP is not a supported deployment platform.

If you wish to target Windows XP then you would need to use the Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2010 product instead.

Thanks.
