In their defense, "the installer for Python has a blank window" isn't
nearly as internet-searchable as an actual text error message - plus
the problem exhibits itself in a number of different ways (probably
relating to exactly what parts of XP are available, or something).
Once there's a clear error message saying that this Python doesn't
work on this Windows, it'll be easy for people to look up info on it,
and then find a fully-supported Python 3.4 installer.
