Deploying 64 bit C# winform app on a 32 bit machine

I have developed a C# winform application using VS 2012 on a 64 bit machine, now I would like to deploy it on a 32 bit machine, but I get the error of the form "... is not a valid win32 application" whenever I try installing and running the exe file on the 32 bit machine. Please suggest me the best way to get around this situation. Thanks!

It sounds like the project was compiled specifically for x64.

Pure .NET projects can and should be compiled to "Any CPU" which means they will run on either x86 and x64. This is usually the default.
