Um, "2006-March" - that message is over two years old!  And even back then
Xapian worked nicely when built with cygwin or mingw.

Back in the present day, MSVC support has been pretty solid for some time.
You can even download prebuilt binaries of the core library and python
bindings:

This will be because the Xapian package was accidentally updated to 1.0.4
recently, then your database was updated with this version which automatically
upgrades the format, then the Xapian package version was dropped back to 1.0.2,
which now can't read the upgraded database.

The easiest fix is probably to just rebuild the database.
