This is because I upgrade the Inno Setup version used to build the installer to the last version 6.0.3. This is necessary because I was using an old unsupported version.
The Inno Setup release notes show:
"OS requirements change: Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 are no longer supported. Windows Vista is the minimum supported operating system."

A temporary solution for you is to download the zip file instead of the installer. For this release this is skychart-4.3-4090-windows.zip
I not recommend to unzip this file in "Program Files", it is better you create a new directory for CdC in your Document directory for example.

For now CdC can run on XP, but I not make any specific effort for that.
So it is probably time to ditch XP. Linux or Win7 are options If your computer do not support Win10.
