Use WinVer.nsh to check the version and call Abort in .onInit if it doesn't match.

!include WinVer.nsh
Function .onInit
  ${Unless} ${IsWinXP}
    MessageBox MB_OK "XP required"
    Abort
  ${EndIf}
FunctionEnd

See WinVer.nsh and choose the right condition. For example, XP and above is ${AtLeastWinXP}.
