How do change SQL Express's in my application?

Question

How do I change an older application created under SQL Express 2005 to SQL Express 2008(R2)? I can run this application  using Debug, but can't publish it because of the following message:

Below messages are logged during installation
<install log>
Running checks for package 'SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 (x86)', phase BuildList
 Running external check with command 'C:\Users\Terry\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD8D4D.tmp\SqlExpress\SqlExpressChk.exe' and parameters ''
Running checks for command 'SqlExpress\sqlexpr32.exe'
<install log>
and screenshot also shows the same.
I am NOT an expert in Visual Studio but I would guess that when you have build your package, would have a checkbox somewhere to mention SQL 2005 as pre-requisite. something which should
say check for prerequisites for SQL server 2005 express edition??
On this machine, since you have SQL 2008 R2 installed, the check is failing and hence installation?
