How to build a shared DLL 32 bit on a 64 bit machine?

Hi, I am a Windows developer and I am trying to help a colleague to build a DLL with Simulink Embedded Coder to integrate in desktop a software I am developing.

I need a 32-bit DLL but the Embedded Coder installed on my colleague's PC (Windows 64-bit) generate a 64-bit DLL and we didn't find any option where we can change this output.

Can you suggest me a solution?

Thank you in advance, Marco

If it's in Visual Studio, there are options you can set to make it generate a 32 bit DLL. If you want to compile it using MATLAB, you know that you can have both the 32 bit version and 64 bit version of MATLAB installed on your computer at the same time. Compile using the matching MATLAB version - 32 bit MATLAB for 32 bit DLL and 64 bit MATLAB for 64 bit DLL. I think that should work. I know it does for EXE's, though I haven't done it for DLL's.

How can you set the options in visual studio to generate a 32 bit DLL? In my configuration Manager, I can only select x64 for a platform.
