Hello,
I'm trying to develop 32-bit Windows Native C/C++ application using Visual
Studio 2008, on 64-bit Windows Server 2008.

Q1. Is it possible to develop 32-bit C/C++ application using VS 2008 on
64-bit Windows Server 2008?
Q2. How and What I should arrange the development environment, for
developping 32-bit C/C++ application using VS 2008 on 64-bit Windows Server
2008?
Q3. I'm trying to use Virual PC for the development, is it possible?

Yes, it should be.

Just create Win32 projects and use an X86 configuration and they'll be
32-bit even though you're on a 64-bit OS.

Yes, of course. Do you mean running VS2008 in a virtual PC or running the
program you're developing in a virtual PC? Either one works.
