I do think you will get the QT version running in XP, however there is a chance using GTK.

Remove all the gmic QT files you installed.

Best use the 32 bit zipped version from www.gmic.eu screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8DTLbrn.jpg

Unzip that and put the whole folder ‘somewhere’ . Your Gimp profile is a good bet. Still not finished there, because you need an extra dependency libunistring-2.dll I got it from here. https://bugs.launchpad.net/homebank/+bug/1689704

Unzipped and goes in with the other gmic files : screenshot https://i.imgur.com/czGZmEw.jpg

Now you can start Gimp up and add the gmic location to the Gimp paths in Edit → Preferences → Folders → Plug-ins

Restart Gimp, open an image, start gmic, refresh the plugins and there you are, gmic 2.2.2 32 bit in Win XP

You really want to think about upgrading your windows version to something newer or in doubt switch to linux.

It is entirely possible that @rej_uoi doesn’t have the sufficient hardware to run anything newer than XP. In that case, I would also recommend Linux and family. In fact, there are distros that can handle extremely low end hardware; e.g., search here.
