You can't get 3.5 to run on XP, no; your options are:

1) Install Python 3.4, which does support XP
2) Upgrade to a newer version of Windows (anything from Vista onward
will run 3.5; to save having to do this in future, jump straight to 7
or 10)
3) Make the jump to Linux or FreeBSD or some other OS.

When 3.5.1 is released (currently scheduled for early December),
you'll get a clear and simple error when you try to install, rather
than strange issues about it not being a valid program. That won't
change the platform support, but at least it won't be as confusing.
