I have developed a VB.net application (Visual Studio 2010 - WIN 7) which contains a local database.i have created the setup of my application if I run and I install my app on another PC under WIN XP, the installation of the app is well done but the execution of the application displays a message and the app will not open !! The message: The database 'Databasename' cannot be opened because it is version 655. This server supports version 611 and earlier. A upgrade path to an earlier version is not supported. Could not open new database 'Databasename'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.

Database version 655 is SQL Server 2008, and 611 is SQL Server 2005.
How to determine version of Local Sql Instance and your database
You will need to upgrade SQL on the XP machine to SQL Server 2008, or downgrade yours to SQL Server 2005.
Alternatively, you can create a new database on the XP machine and then seed it with any needed data for the application to function.
