You go ahead bothering them about the README of an outdated version that you 
suggested.

There is nothing to admit as the opposite was not claimed.

No, but it will be harder to get as time passes.  It is not logical that 
Microsoft would provide the Windows XP Service Pack 3 download indefinitely 
now that they have discontinued Windows XP Service Pack 3 support, which 
they BTW announced more than a year ago (because Service Pack 3 is that 
old).

And the security vulnerabilities in Service Pack 3 will not be fixed.

As for ignorant mouth, …

It does not prevent PHP 5.4.29 from running, but it makes running PHP 5.4.27 
as in XAMPP 1.8.2 a liability:

<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0237>
<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0238>

And XAMPP 1.8.3 contains PHP 5.5.x which does not support Windows XP.

It might be possible to install the old XAMPP version on Windows XP and 
upgrade PHP and all other outdated parts to a working setup.  But if you can 
do that you do not need XAMPP in the first place, yes?

You really need to get a minimum clue, especially about computer security.
