I get the error message: “The system cannot execute the specified program.”
This seems like a pretty broad error. I see mentions of needing
Right-Click -> Properties -> Unblock, to allow a downloaded executable
to run.
Other cases involve system files or runtime libraries of some sort...

I am afraid sorting out issues like this is going to "come with the
territory" of making operating systems keep working long after being
abandoned by their producers. Sometimes people have major reasons for
doing so, as in "hard binding to big equipment that costs more than a
house to upgrade." When asking for help with them, though, the starting
assumption in response will usually be that anything not working can be
blamed on the expired system.
I could check my "fencerow" to see if any startable Windows XP machines
remain in it for helping test this, but keep expectations near zero and
allow at least a week.
