Hi Christian, Most likely you need to install vc90 runtime libraries on your xp. You should be able to find all required files and install instructions on MSDN site.
Here are steps I suggest you follow : 1. Download "Dependency walker" 2. Open mapnik.dll in DW 3. If you see runtime DLL ( I think it's called msvcrt90.dll) is missing, download it from MSDN and install.
