Make the exe run on lower version of framework

I am creating an exe from my C# application and adding some dlls like

SFXmaker.cp = new System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters();
cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Drawing.dll");
cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Windows.Forms.dll");

The problem is that I'm using .NET Framework 4.0 and when I run the extractor on .NET 2.0 it crashes. Can anybody tell me how to make the exe run on .NET 2.0 created from .NET 4 application?

Example I am referencing

A .NET assembly compiled for .NET 4.0 will never run in the .NET 2.0 CLR. You must recompile it for .NET 2.0.

You need to compile the project with .net 2.0 when you build it.

If you are using a IDE like Visual studio, just right click on the project and select "properties" there you will see the target framework.
