You cannot use .NET framework 4.5 or higher on Windows XP - it is not supported at all, and never will be.
If you can't upgrade the OS, you will have to downgrade your app and all it's referenced components to use .NET 4.4 or lower instead.

And the XP will need to be on SP3, iirc.

You RC indeed!
.NET 4.0 and above require XP SP3
.NET 3.5 requires XP SP2
.NET 2.0 will work with any version of XP.

But ... still running XP? Good grief! At least upgrade to Win 7 ... :laugh:
