I can install and run R 3.4.4 on Windows XP (32bit). However, calling "Update

"The procedure entry point IdnToAscii could not be located in the dynamic link
library KERNEL32.dll"
and the following text printed to the RGui console window:
"...
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) :

"IdnToAscii" is exported from "C:\WINDOWS\system32\normaliz.dll" on Windows XP.
But apparently RGui cannot locate this procedure on Windows XP.
Any advice? (except for "switch to a more recent windows version")
The Windows FAQ 2.2 says, "Windows XP is no longer supported", so I
think you're out of luck. XP went past "end-of-life" in 2014.
Other than switching to a more recent Windows version, your choices are
switching to a completely different OS, or switching to an older version
of R.
