Taget operating system

[Gagnon Claude]

Hi, With Visual Studio 2008, how can I specify the operating system for who I will compile my application? I develop under Vista but I want to utilize on XP. Thanks, Claude

This can be done by changing the default value of WINVER[^]

You could put this in your StdAfx.h file:

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#endif

Use version > 0x0400 otherlise you will get a compile error in VS2008.
