WPF : XamlParseException in WPF application when installed on XP

Question

I have a WPF application which runs perfectly fine on vista/7 but on Windows XP it chucks up the System.Windows.Markup.XamlParse error.

I use Visual studio 2010 with .NET 4.0, Telerik Q2 2011 Controls and DevExpress Control 2011.

Detail about exception:

Application: CVServer.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException

Update 1:

I am applying styling from a static resource file

Update 2:

<ResourceDictionary

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<!-- Resource dictionary entries should be defined here. -->
<RadialGradientBrush x:Key="Background" GradientOrigin="-0.01,1.01" RadiusY="0.52">
    <GradientStop Color="#FF62BAFB"/>
    <GradientStop Color="#FF0070DA" Offset="0.479"/>
    <GradientStop Color="#FF00499F" Offset="1"/>
</RadialGradientBrush>
<FontFamily x:Key="ButtonFontFamily">Segoe UI</FontFamily>

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TextBlockForeground" Color="Black"/>
<System:Double x:Key="ButtonFontSize">13.333</System:Double>
<System:Double x:Key="TextFontSize">14.667</System:Double>

<System:Double x:Key="ImageButtonFontSize">16</System:Double>
<FontFamily x:Key="ImageButtonFontFamily">Adobe Kaiti Std R</FontFamily>    
</ResourceDictionary>

Apply those Resource like this

Background="{DynamicResource Background}"

Answer 1

Possible problem can be the usage of Segoe UI Font. This font is not installed with XP.

<FontFamily x:Key="ButtonFontFamily">Segoe UI</FontFamily>
