Title: Wizards only giving me 64 bit options
Post by: RKSJBeck on November 14, 2026, 12:13:20 AM
Is it just my install, or when running the project wizards the only options are 64 bit projects now?
I know my old 32 bit projects will load and compile just fine, but I don't get an option to make a 32 bit anything from the wizards.

Hello,

Can you try to install the latest version of Pelles C? The wizards are supporting 64-bit coding :

It might be possible to create a x64 project and change it to x86 project after creating it from project properties, found from project target name using mouse right click at project treeview.

Yes and No.  You can still make 32 bit projects.
1) Use the New Project menu item
2) select for example Wizard for Windows application
3) enter all the information
4) create the project
5) go to the Source Files list on the right
6) right Click on the programs name .exe select properties
7) in properties  Project page change X64.... to X86
8) click OK
9) build it
10) run it
There you go 32 bit, which you can verify using the Task Manager.

It seems a little bit crazy apparently. But the real bug IMO is that the selection isn't available with project menu.
