Coincidentally, just a few days ago, I tried to run Nim[0] on Windows XP as an experiment.

And to my surprise, the latest 32-bit release of Nim simply works out the box. But Nim compiles to C, so I also needed C compiler. Many versions of mingw I could find online - they all failed to launch.

After some time I managed to find very old Mingw (gcc 4.7.1) that have finally worked [1].

Try MinC, MinC is not Cygwin. Install both the base and the compiler from their page.
