Vb.net 2010 apps and XP2 compatibility

Posted 08 July 2012 - 08:52 AM

I have been researching on this but do not find any meaningful result. I know visual studio 2010 cannot be installed on win XP SP2. I developed an application in VB.net 2010 and it installs fine on win7 and Vista however when installing on WinXP SP2, I get errors in its attempt to install the required .net framework.
I want to know if application written in VS 2010 are compatible with WinXP SP2.

According to the .NET 4.0 download page, which is what VS 2010 defaults to, it requires WinXP SP3.

Assuming you don't use any of the new features in 4.0 in your project, you can change the .NET Framework version it requires:
