I'm trying to compile my Python project to a Windows executable (.exe) using Nuitka. I get no errors/warnings during the compilation process, but when I'm trying to run the resulting executable I get the "C:\Python34\test.exe is not a valid win32 application" error on Windows XP and a similar one on Windows 10, too). The problem persists even when I compile a "Hello, World!" program. Interesting, that I can easily build and run C++ projects from the Visual Studio IDE on the same PC.
I'm using Windows XP (x32 bits), Python 3.4.0 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Professional.
How can I solve this problem?
I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express instead of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional, and the problem disappeared. It looks like Nuitka just can't work with the previous version of the compiler. They even say in the docs, that Nuitka is designed for Visual Studio 2017+ (but I can't install recent versions on Windows XP), and that other versions may not work correctly.
