How can I find What Update version I have in Visual Studio 2012? (update 1 or 2 or 3). HOw can I go back to update 1 so that I can build .dll which can be supported in windows XP? I am sorry It's not a programming question but highly appreciated for your answer. I'm stuck!

I have a following Error: Unable to load DLL 'xxx.dll': The specified procedure could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007F)

My Target OS is windows XP: 32 bit .NET 4.0. Also Same dll works for windows 7 and other so I think there shouldn't be dependency problem.

Help -> About will tell you what update you are running.

As far as I can tell, targeting windows XP is supported from VS 2012 with any update. You just need to make sure the project targets a version of the .NET framework that is supported on Windows XP. (.NET 4 or earlier)

Open Visual Studio, Click Help, Click About. See Second line.

Mine says "Version 11.0.60315.01 Update 2"

How can I go back to update 1?

(assuming Windows 7)

Control panel > Programs and Features > view installed updates > uninstall the update you want under the Visual Studio 2012 category.

That being said, I have no idea if this solution is actually something you need to do or will fix your problem. It is simply about how to remove the updates. It sounds like you may just need to download the latest .NET framework for XP.
