 Hi Dave and Andrew,

 I recently noticed the thread
   [BUGS] BUG #11039: installation fails when trying to install C++
 redistributable .

 Unfortunately I have no XP machine at hand and can't test the
 installer by myself.

 Looking at the binaries in the package, they seem to be built using
 Visual Studio 2013. I'm suspicious if the binaries are available on
 Windows XP.

 If I recognize correctly, Visual Studio 2012 or later doesn't support
 Windows XP by default and Platform Toolset v120_xp (or v110_xp) must
 be specified so as to build binaries guaranteed to be avaiable on
 Windows XP. However MSBuildProject.pm seems to specify v120 (or v110) as
 the PlarformToolset property. Is it intentional?

I can't say whether that was an intentional change or not as I wasn't
involved in writing that patch, but I can say that EDB will not be
supporting Windows XP for our future builds now that it's been
(finally) made obsolete by Microsoft when extended support ended in
April.
