There are several things to check, mostly to do with how you have configured your app.

1) Do you have it set to x64 and the XP box is 32 bit?
2) Do you have it set for a version of the framework that is not installed on the XP box?
3) Does it need datafiles or command line parameters that you haven't provided?
4) Does it use any Win 7 specific code?
