I was using MSVC2013 before this year, so if you wanted to use the older dev tools to possibly fix the issue, you'd need to use MSVC2013, not MSVC2019.

It's definitely possible that something in the new Microsoft tools/libs doesn't like WinXP.

I'm not sure what you mean. You should be able to use new/current data with old builds.

It's only a matter of time before I can't feasibly support WinXP any longer. That time may be now, I'm not sure. Best you upgrade to at *least* Win7.
