How can I build executables which can be run in Windows XP using Visual Studio 2012 and Intel Compiler XE 2013?

Question

When I develop a application which can be run in Window XP using Visual Studio 2012, I set Visual Studio 2012 - Windows XP (v110_xp) to the platform toolset property.

But if I want to build the application using Intel Compiler XE 2013 with Visual Studio 2012, that property should be Intel C++ Compiler XE 13.0 I suppose.

And a built executable with the property can't be run in Windows XP with message "$APPNAME is not a valid Win32 application."

How can I build executables which can be run in Window XP using Visual Studio 2013 and Intel Compiler XE 2013?

My development environment is as follows:

• Development machine : Window 7 Update1
• Target machine : Window XP SP3
• Compiler : Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Update3 and Intel C++ Composer XE 2013
