I would think this would be obvious. You need to recompile for 32 bit and use 32 bit libraries.

The solution that is successfully being used at a recent site I was at, is to only build on the XP machine (i.e. 32 bit build).

Where possible, the same executable is used for both XP and WIN7, thus avoiding having to maintain multiple versions.

Once the rollout of Windows7 is complete across the entire enterprise then future builds may take place on a Win7 machine - however, in their case it will still be a 32-bit build due to the languages used.

The few .net programs are all built to target the .Net 3.5 framework as at least that version is on all machines across the business, the .Net 4 framework is only available on their win7 and win8 machines.

Another solution I have seen used is to not support versions of Windows less than 7. Seems to work for Microsoft too.
