You need at least NET 4.5

NET 4.5 is only available in Windows Vista and higher. The editor will not run in Windows XP.

The game works in XP just fine. It is only the scenario editor that does not.

Correct, the game works well in XP, it's just the editor that does not. This is due to dependencies on GUI libraries that MS has chosen not to support in XP. Thanks for clearing that up, Saddletank.
