I'm surprised it worked for you,

was supposed not to support XP.
... 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:
