title: Configure .NET Core to use x86 SDK
body: <p>I'm trying to change my .NET Core Web Application to use the x86 version of the .NET Core SDK. </p>
  
  <p>I installed the x86 version from <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/net/download#preview" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. I can see it in <em>C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\sdk\1.0.0-preview2-003131</em></p>
  
  <p>I updated my global.json to this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "projects": [ "src" ],
      "sdk": {
          "version": "1.0.0-preview2-003131",
          "architecture": "x86"
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I get the error: </p>
  
  <p><em>The project is configured to use .NET Core SDK version 1.0.0-preview2-003131 which is not installed or cannot be found under the path C:\Program Files\dotnet. These components are required to build and run this project. Download the version of .NET Core SDK specified in global.json or update the SDK version in global.json to the version that is installed.</em></p>
  
  <p>I guess I need to tell my application to look in <em>C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet</em></p>
  
  <p>How do I do this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help!</p>
