Unfortunately, the Rust compiler is not able to run on Windows XP. You will need a machine running Windows 7 or newer (or Linux or Mac OS X). Or possibly you could run Linux in a virtual machine.

Note that Rust is able to compile programs that run on Windows XP, however the Rust compiler itself will not run on XP. LLVM no longer supports running on XP and since Rust uses LLVM there's not a whole lot we can do about it.
