Please don't post an identical message within 12 hours of the previous one - it's extremely rude, and in general a good route to being added to spam lists.

I can install Basic MiKTeX 2.9.6219 on an old Windows XP SP3 VM with no problem, so it's something on your system, not something to do with MiKTeX's Windows XP Support.
