After an accidental new installing of R killed one day from me, I decide to note down everything that I did for R to work on WindowsXP. Hence:
R-3.4.4 is the last official version that can run on Windows XP.
Install R-3.4.4-win.exe;
copy internet.dll from version 3.4.1 (attached below) to \R\modules\i386;
Basically R will run now.
Normally installed packages do not load properly and need old versions to work (thanks to https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/timemachine):
RcmdrMisc_1.0-9.zip
car_2.1-6.zip
readxl_1.0.0.zip
optional:
copy https://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv to \R\doc (if the newest file could not be downloaded)
copy .Rprofile to \My Documents
my .Rprofile contents:
options('download.file.method'='libcurl') # libcurl supports proxy, but not https, so only select http mirrors
getOption('download.file.method')
Sys.setenv('CURL_CA_BUNDLE'='\\My Documents') #path should be modified
Sys.setenv('http_proxy'='host:port') #host:port should be modified
