Fences (public) will not install

When installing public version of Fences, my Win XP/SP3 laptop (freshly installed) shows "The following requirements must be processed before starting setup: Microsoft NET 2.0.

 

I have NET 4.0 on my laptop but am still not able to install (public) Fences.  Help!

 

Thanks,

Joe
