Who here has a Youtube-DL compile for WinXP?

With my latest version of yt-dlp (2025.08.23.181722), I get:

Wow! Then in just 3 days they've pushed some pretty significant changes. One of which is "[ie/youtube] Replace ios with tv_simply in default clients (#14123)", which is a real pity, because I prefer the ios HLS formats.
They've now flagged these formats as requiring a PO token, which (as far as I can tell) isn't true, because the 2025.08.20.232911 version I was using still works just fine for these formats. Now I have to snatch a PO token for these to work.

As a side note, the standalone Windows XP version doesn't work on Windows 7 x64 with the error pointing to GetCPFileNameFromRegistry on kernell32.dll, but no problem with the native.

I used to run this version on Windows 7 x64 (as I switched from OS to OS and avoid two installs (aside this I can confirm that the Windows 7 version is slightly faster on its native platform, as you pointed out nicola)).

I read quick, but would your release have support/be released after september?

Thanks for your efforts nicolaasjan :)
