I have downloaded file (from the site https://miktex.org/download ) basic-miktex-2.9.6643.exe
but I can't run it under my Windows XP. Please give me any link to install files for any working release for XP after October 2017.

4Per requirements: miktex.org/kb/prerequisites, WinXP is not supported. WinXP is not even supported by Microsoft anymore.– daleifApr 3, 2018 at 8:10

1You may have more luck trying another TeX distribution, e.g. TeX Live. If the newest version does not run you may try an older one (they are archived).– TeXnicianApr 3, 2018 at 8:12

1@daleif I don't know, but therefore one could use older binaries. If the OP really insists on using XP why shouldn't he use an outdated distro?– TeXnicianApr 3, 2018 at 8:17

1@daleif No, MikTeX uses a rolling update system, so there is no real option to provide "older" versions.– TeXnicianApr 3, 2018 at 8:26

2@Leox This is not possible: current MiKTeX simply doesn't support Windows XP.– Joseph Wright ♦Apr 3, 2018 at 8:40

At the moment of this writing, I was able to find MiKTeX 2.9.5105 at ftp.lip6.fr (and a couple of other FTP servers, use the www.filesearch.ru engine), and MiKTeX 2.9.3972 at miktex.en.softonic.com.

1Unfortunately, to me MiKTeX installer from the first link refuses to work under Windows XP 32 bit SP3, and as for the second link the file wasn't found on softonic.com. +1 for www.filesearch.ru though:) Dec 31, 2018 at 8:38
