problem deploying visual basic express application - requiring visual basic powerpacks ver 10

Question

I created a program using visual basic express 2010.  I uses the printform object thus I must include microsoft visual basic powerpacks as a service reference.  When I publish the application and try to deploy it on another machine it installs the .net packages then says "Unable to install or run the application - requires that assembly Microsoft Visual Basic Powerpacks vs 10.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cach (GAC) first".  The computer where I developed the application is windows 7 64 bit.  The destination computer I am trying to install it to  is windows xp bit service pack 3 - if that makes any difference .   How do I solve this problem ?  Would greatly appreciate an answer
