Where is the option to change the target framework for VS 2012 Lightswitch project? I need to change to .NET 4.0 in order for app to work on Windows XP SP 3 machine.

The target framework of the server is already .NET Framework 4.0. The target framework of the client is Silverlight 5.

While I'm happy to be correcd, I don't believe that you can do that, & I'm pretty sure that the option that been deliberately hidden for that reason.

Any reason why my LS 2012 App won't install on Windows XP SP3 but installs and works great on Windows 7 64bit?
The Publish settings are as follows:
App Type: Desktop
App Server Config: Local
Prereqs: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (x86 and x64)
Really basic app
only Two Extensions (LS Cosmo Shell and Theme / MS LS Extensions 1.0
Thoughts or Suggestions?

Can you tell us what the error message is when you try to install your published application on Windows XP SP3?

Sorry but why use Windows xp... it is dead start moving away from it...
On another note, it looks like you are compiled for x64 and trying to run on a x86 (32bit) machine. This is nothing to do with the targeted framework.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. I've developed my LS app on an x64 machine and want to install it on a mixture of W7 and XP machines. In my situation, we would have to upgrade the physical PCs to upgrade to W7 and we simply don't have the money.
I'm desperate to get this working. What do I need to do?
I've tried using:
editbin setup.exe /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01 /OSVERSION:5.1
which changed the error to:
the procedure entry point InitializeCriticalSectionEX could not be located in the dynamic link library Kernal32.dll
Help!
