Is .NET 4.0 Compatible with Windows XP SP2 or below? [closed]
- .NET 4.0 requires XP SP3, Win2k3 SP2, Vista, 7, or 2008(R2)
- .NET 3.5 requires XP SP2 or newer.
- .NET 2.0 requires Win2K SP(3?) or newer.
Incidentally, XP SP2 is no longer supported. (also; all versions of Win2K, and Vista XP1)
.NET 3.5 will give you compatibility with XP SP2. If you want compatibility with any level of XP, you need to go all the way back to .NET 2.0.

As far as I know, 3.5 was the last version to support WinXP SP2.
