Create new active solution platform (VS2008)

Question

I have a project configured for “Any CPU”. When I go to solution properties, under Configuration Manager -> Active Solution Platform I can see only:

Any CPU
<New…>
<Edit…>

I want to change it to x86, so I select and am presented with another dialog that asks me where I want to copy the settings from.

What does this actually mean? Which settings does it copy?

Answer 1

It's talking about project settings (build directories, reference, etc), but since you have only one active configuration just choose to copy settings from it ("Any CPU").
