Transferring project from a computer running 2000 to a machine with XP

I am using Visualc++.net 2003.

I transferred a project from a computer with 2000 to a computer with XP.

The project opens and runs ok on the 2000 computer but on the XP computer

I get the message cannot open my .vcprog file.

some of the assemblies referenced in your project may be missing on XP machine. Project should load fine after removing reference entries from .vcproj file for the missing assemblies. This is a known VC++ .Net 2003 issue. Please try it and let me know.

Thanks

I can investigate it further if I have .vcproj file
