    I have created a setup project for a windows forms application with VS Community 2015. I have set the prerequisites (.NET Framework 4.0 with Windows Installer 4.5) and I have downloaded all required files but when I try to run the install file on Windows XP, I receive this message:

    This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact the package vendor.

    I understand that the error is because the system is running on x86 and it doesn't find the windows installer files for x86 and I can't figure it out why. Files that are included in Windows Installer 4.5 are these:

    Windows6.0-KB958655-v2-x64.msu
    Windows6.0-KB958655-v2-x86.msu
    WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB958655-v2-x64-ENU.exe
    WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x64.exe
    WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x86.exe
    WindowsServer2003-KB958655-v2-x86-ENU.exe
    WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe
    WindowsXP-KB958655-v2-x86-ENU.exe

    Can anybody tell me if the files are wrong and what files should I include instead of these?

      What is the value of the Template Summary field on the General tab of your installer?

        .NET 4.5 doesn't run on Windows XP. I am sure we told you this already.

          Sorry, I meant 4.0 instead of 4.5! .NET 4.0 requires WindowsInstaller 4.5 which runs on Windows XP..Prerequisite is .NET 4.0
