32 bit build will not install on 32 bit windows 7, popup shows up claiming this build will only work for windows 10 64 bit

[Marcos.Laureano]

I am using the default 32 bit settings for the build configuration (Release) and the default Distribution settings (Windows installer, Windows 32-bit and 64-bit) same way I have always built my install.exe but when I try to install it on my 32-bit Windows 7 an error shows up saying it would only work on Windows 10 64-bit build 1607. I am building this on my windows 10 laptop, and I do have some source files (.H, .LIB) but they should all be 32-bit.

Hi Marcos, you are likely hitting the issue documented in this KB: NI Installer Requires Windows 10 64-Bit (Version 1507) or Newer. The KB discusses some potential workarounds to consider.
