    Your Windows XP run-time is probably far out of date compared with the MSVCRT (Microsoft Visual C Run-Time) library that Qt Creator was built against. Since your Qt Creator was built using MSVC 2013, 32bit, you probably need to install the redistributable package for that compiler version.

    I cannot tell you what it will do on a Windows XP system. It could trash your OS or it could be just fine. XP is obsolete and no longer supported by Microsoft, so I do not know if they guarantee that newer versions of Microsoft libraries will work on it. You should read what you can find online before you install anything.

    As an alternative, you could build Qt Creator from source code on your system. This way, you will be guaranteed that your Microsoft libraries will be used. But if Qt Creator uses C++11 code, then if your compiler is also old that might not work either. I do not know anything about Qt Creator source code so you'll need to do more investigation.
