C# – could not load file or assembly microsoft.office.interop.excel version 15.0.0.0 in windows xp

cexcelnetvisual studio 2012windows-xp

I am develop a program in VS2012 in Windows 8.

I am reading an Excel file like this.

xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(fileAddress, 0, true, 5, "", "", true,     Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "\t", false, false, 0, true, 1, 0);

I add Microsoft Excel 15.0 Object Library to my project.

and my program runs fine in windows 7 and 8 but not in Windows XP. I am getting this error :

could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.office.interop.excel
version 15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublickeyToken=17e9bcce111e9429c' or
one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Edit : I use .Net3.0

I think the problem may be that in the Windows XP you may not have the Office 2013 installed (PIA 15) and you may have a version of Excel that is older than 2013 therefore PIAs 14 or lower would only be available on that machine.
