Solution 1

To install Java 8 on Windows XP you need the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI). The file name of the installer has one of the following formats:

jre-version-x86.msi (for Windows XP 32-bit systems)

jre-version-x64.msi (for Windows XP 64-bit systems)

Substitute the appropriate version number for version. For example, if you using the installer for update 1.8.0_74, the file name: jre-version-x86.msi would become jre1.8.0_74_x86.msi. You can download here. Other versions look here.

Here the screenshots from Windows XP:

The supported platforms are here and windows XP is not present there. I would not risk it as hotspot most probably relies on system calls that might not be present in xp
