The problem lies in the fact that your computer has NI Meta Deployment Framework (MDF) 20.7 or newer installed. This is the component that is used to build installers. Since version 20.7 NI dropped support for anything before Windows 10 64-bit. That includes Windows 32-bit in any form and flavor.

The version of your LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI environment is irrelevant in that respect. The NI MDF is a shared component used by all installer builders in all versions of LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI. And it gets automatically updated if you install a new NI PM version or most NI whatever drivers.

There is supposedly a way to change some settings in one of the INI files that gets generated by the builder alongside your installer files but it seems to not always work. https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YOE0CAO
