I'm surprised it worked for you, because AFAICR I'd understood that

... The latest GiP installer (v3.20.0) bundles a self-contained
(portable) mini-package of Strawberry Perl 5.26.2.1-win32, back from
mid-April 2018:

As you might see, the Release Notes do NOT specify a minimum winOS
version as "system requirements"; I was able to launch perl 5.26.2.1
successfully under Vista SP2 x86, but, sadly, am nowhere near an XP
box to test; my gut feeling is it should properly launch there, too
(I'd expect one to have kept the XP sytem as updated as possible -
MSVC++ redistributables installed, etc.).
The GiP installer has been compiled in the InnoSetup format, one can
decompile it - for testing purposes - without actually running it via
the latest version of Inno Setup Unpacker:

Simply, I must be wrong, yet I do seem to remember some discussion about
this somewhere before, with someone on XP being unable to run newer
versions of GiP.
