Is this a spam message? Are you running a pirated version of XP?
That string alone suggest me that you've not updated the OS at all after installing it. I can be caused by loads of things, for example, missing the latest version of Windows Installer for your OS, missing Visual C++ dependencies, and similar stuff.
What are you trying to do, that makes this error message appear?
@ the above posts, this doesn't have anything to do with .NET.

Szulak: Install

IIRC, .NET applications do tell exactly which .NET version needs to be installed for the particular app to run, if launched without that .NET version installed.
Not 100% sure whether this is framework-wide or specific to the few apps that I've tried (on XP a long time ago, that's why I do not remember correctly), but I have seen a nicely written message about this.
Oh, and 100% sure about this, if an application needs .NET 3.5 or earlier version on Windows 8, a window pops up that enables you to install the required version with a click or two, along with security and performance updates and all that.
