Greeting Card creation in Vista for play on XP

I've created a greeting card on my Vista workstation. How can I create it such that it's a valid executable on Windows XP?
Thanks
Doug

This is something different. I thought an executable file was an executable file, no matter what OS. However I produced a greeting card using VS11 on my Vista powered laptop. Transferred it to my desktop which runs XP Home SP2.

When I played the greeting card, it did play, but when it finished it caused my desktop to freeze up. I had to use task manager to shut down the greeting card.

It gets a bit more strange..
I created one on my XP machine, and it works fine on my XP machine. So there must be something different enough between them, to where XP does not like Vista exes. Can't say as I blame it though..

Sorry no workaround or fix found yet...

OK, thanks for trying. If you figure something out let me know. You actually get further than I do though. on XP it shows up as an exe but when you run it , it declares invalid.

How do you make a greeting card in VS11+?

While in the Edit step, select a video clip from your library you want to use for the card. Then choose the button across the top that looks like a film strip with an arrow circling up and out of it. This button is labeled "Output the video file to a different medium" and choose greeting card. Note that you have to do this with video clips, not project files. Convert your project to a movie first if you want use it.
