XP does not support newer .NET versions (and vice versa). You have to build your app with .NET 3.5 or lower.

What is destination .net framework version?
You can install newer version of .net framework on WinXP, which has to make able to use *.exe.

The lowest supported .net for xp sp3 is 4.0. .net also needs to be installed. I believe if you would like to run the application without the requirement of .net, then you would probably need to drop your solutions version down to 2.0 or lower.
