C# .NET 4.0 App Works in Win 7 Pro 64-bit, not Win 8 Pro 64-bit

I created a silly little "game" in Visual Studio 2010 to play around a bit with XNA and teach myself game development. All it does is cycle colors and bounce around some little balls. I have the project built for .NET 4.0 Client Profile. This game works perfectly in Windows 7 with no trouble at all. However, when trying to run it in Windows 8, it crashes immediately. In the error window, I see the following:

Problem signature:

I also ran it through the debugger, and this is what I see:

I've been searching online for answers, but nothing seems to really apply to the situation correctly or makes sufficient sense. I've even tried running it from locations other than what's stated (the desktop), but always the same result. I'm not sure where to go from here to resolve this.

Ok, it turns out I'm an idiot, so downvotes will be fine. =P

Apparently, as I was unaware, the reason it wasn't working on Windows 8 was the Win8 machine didn't have the XNA 4 Redist installed whereas it was installed on my Win7 machine. Once I got it installed the game worked normally.
