You need to share more error details to get some help!

Try to look at eventlogs if you have anything there to share.

Solution 1

Check on which framework the application is implemented. Download the required framework and install on your XP Machine. Your application might be implemented on .net framework version greater than 2.

Solution 2

So what version of the .NET Framework did you write your code against??

If the .NET Framework version you wrote your code against is not installed on the XP machine, your app won't run. I think the solution to that is pretty obvious.

If you want any help beyond this, you're going to have to provide the EXACT error meesage you get on these machines.

No, XP is not that old :-).

There are no problems to install .NET Framework v.2.0-3.5 on XP is you also install SP2. Please refer to:
