32-bit code on 64-bit server

[esnmb]

I thought 32-bit can run on AMD64 bit CPU's? I am getting this error when running my VB.Net 2003 app:

Try compiling specifically to x86 (instead of "Any CPU") and see if the problem remains.

 

[esnmb]

How do I do that in VS 2003?

you can't because VS 2003 can only compile to x86, and esnmb you should change your Primary Platform from VS 2005 to VS 2003

when running the app in debug mode, what's causing the error?
