Thanks, but this are only english versions. My XP is german and I cant install english Service packs.
Still today I can not find any solution to install C::B on Windows XP >:(

To seahawkibiza:
So, have you copied the old C::B DLLs which is the normal fix for this issue or not?
Note: One person tried the DLLs from here https://github.com/acotty/CodeBlocks_Unofficial_Testing/tree/master/src/exchndl/Win_XP/win32 instead of the old CB DLLs. IIRC, they said it worked.

I installed EN VC runtime (UCRT) on PL WinXP: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) - 14.24.28127, 06/02/2020 15:07:05 . No problems.
Also you can try replacement set of the DLLs, proposed by stahta01 - at my first look they should be XP-compatible.

I've tried those 5 files and it doesn't work for me. I still get the same error message "C:\Programme\CodeBlocks\exchndl.dll is not a valid windows file".
I suggest that somebody should include a detailed description into the readme files what DLLs are actually necessary to run C::B under WinXP and where to download them. Blindly trying out different things without knowing the exact problem is like shooting into darkness.
If this information is not available then the claim that C::B works with XP should be removed. It would avoid false expectations and lots of trouble and wasted time.

I checked and found out that I already have a newer Redistributable installed on my PC: 14.27.29016
I think it doesn't make sense to uninstall that and re-install the older one, does it.
